Story

Sadly and tragically our beautiful daughter Lucy decided this world was not for her and left us at just aged 17. She was the most incredible caring, funny, sensitive, talented star. A soft hearted big sister and affectionate grand daughter who leaves a huge hole in our hearts forever. 

Bringing awareness and doing all we can to prevent this most awful sad tragedey happening to anyone else is something I know she would want us to do......so this is the start of that journey!

Lucy and I had entered to run the London Marathon October 2022, something she was proud of and wanted to acheive at just 18. I now don't feel I could run this one without her but we had however often laughed about me one day doing the Loch Ness marathon, and how seeing Nessy would make me run as fast as her! So that one day is now here........let the training commence for October 2nd!
