October last year I suddenly lost one of my best friends, Tom Haynes, due to a bleed on the brain. To those that will have met Tom, even if just for a short moment will have known how amazing he was, his ridiculous laugh always bringing a smile to everyone around him. Not a day goes by where Tom isn’t missed immensely.

Tom being Tom managed to in his passing be responsible for saving six lives through organ donation and enhancing many more - bringing hope to so many families and friends.

In memory of Tom, both my brother (Bert) and I will be running the Amsterdam marathon, to raise money for Brain Research UK to fund vital research to prevent tragic losses like this happening to others.
