Story

This October with be the 10th Anniversary of my Dad's death. In 2004 my dad sadly passed away from a condition known as adult cot death. 10 years on and a series of adverts highlighting this condition from the British Heart Foundation inspired me to help make a difference, to help raise awareness of this preventable condition and to potentially save another family from going through the heartbreak my family have felt.  If I can do that then these 13 miles will be more than worth it.

I'm no runner, and those who know me will know this so this will be an almighty challenge and I've said for years I'll do it but keep making excuses. This is the year and this ones for you Dad xxx
