Hello my name is Paul Wise,
I have just signed up for the St Helens 10k run that will take place on Sunday the 5th of March 2017.
I will be taking part in the run in memory of my late step father Graham who sadly passed away in July this year at the young age of 45.
Graham was a very popular person and a very kind generous loving fiancée to my mum Collette for over 25 years & four sons & his very young grandchildren were his everything.
I first met graham in 1990 when I was 11 years old and he treated me like a son from that moment onwards although he was only young himself.
Graham would be that person the whole family would call upon in often desperate times of need. From self taught mechanic and resident electrician to family BBQ champion!.
He was always so full of life and wouldn't ever be seen taking life too serious. He is so sadly missed by so many people.
Graham passed away in July at Whiston Hospital on Merseyside after a short battle with a very aggressive and heart breaking form of Lymphoma.
So I have decided to try my best to do something in his memory for a very worthy cause because he always always did his best for us and gave his family his everything.
