I've decided to take part in the Oxford Half Marathon in memory of Adam Redfern. My highlight at University was being a part of Demon Media – and Adam was a massive part of that. It really is an honour to support the Memorial Fund started in his name. 

Having only previously done a 10k, this half marathon is a challenge (and more than a bit daunting). Any donations are really appreciated.

The Adam Redfern Memorial Fund has been established to give aspiring students with a flair for media, journalism and sport the opportunity to study at DMU and make the most out of their time here before they go on to fulfil their career ambitions. The fund is in memory of much-loved DMU colleague, Journalism alumnus and fitness enthusiast, Adam Redfern, who died suddenly of a heart attack while out jogging in March 2021, aged 28.

The Adam Redfern Memorial Fund will also shine a light on SADS (sudden arrhythmic death syndrome) when someone dies suddenly following a cardiac arrest and no obvious cause can be found through fundraising events hosted in Adams memory and also by supporting the Joe Humphries Memorial Trust; a Leicestershire-based charity set up to break the 'silence' on SADS and create a new generation of young life savers.
