I will never forget the moment my beautiful Mama called me and told me Dad had been taken to hospital. As soon as my Mum said, 'Hello', a shiver went down my spine and I knew something was wrong.

The four days that followed were some of the most incredible and heartbreaking days of our lives. It sounds unusual to use the word incredible, as sadly my Dad passed away from a stroke but the feelings, togetherness and super human strength we had as a family unit, fighting for my Dad, completely blew me away and still does to this day.

'Catastrophic' is a word that will always haunt me as it's the word the doctor's described my Dad's second bleed to the brain and in turn, took every bit of hope we desperately clung on to, away from us. We whispered old stories, sung my Dad's favourite songs, laughed, cried our eyes out and most importantly of all we were with him in his last moments and thanked him for the incredible life he gave to us.

Four years on and the personal journey has been a heavy one to deal with and l have learnt so much about myself and how to cope with grief, anxiety and panic attacks. I feel like I've cracked it and although I'm still learning, it feels incredibly empowering to know I can kick the shit out of it when I need to.

I am so proud how my family have rolled our sleeves up and turned this tragic event in to a positive. We are building the house my Dad always dreamed of and I know that every time the sun shines on the house, that is my Dad's beaming smile. Now it's time to give something to a charity that helps families and stroke survivors in their time of need with a charity linked to my Dad, the Stroke Association.

This tragedy does not define us but what it has done is give us and everyone else hope, hope that whatever life throws at us, we can deal with it and do all we can to shine a positive light in a direction that can help us learn, build our armour, go forth and live our lives. There is not a day that goes by that I don't wish my Dad could be here now with us and see that funny old git with his beautiful grandchildren BUT, it will not beat us, your memory lives on through us and we are the only fucking WINNERS ❤️

I am going to give absolutely everything to smash an amazing time and take my Dad on the run with me across London's landmarks where he bustled along and grafted hard in his cab for endless hours to provide a special life for his family.

Thank you for donating to me and I promise that every penny will be worth it. LOVE ALWAYS WINS.

My Dad absolutely loved running, so this one is for you Dad, love you xx
