Peter Cooper
In Memory of Marilyn Cooper fundraising page
Fundraising for Cardiomyopathy UK
Story
This page has been set up as a fundraising page to raise money for events, myself, family and friends are completing in memory of my Mum, Marilyn Cooper. She passed away at 61 after suffering a heart attack. Her bucket list was to complete the major marathons and I am now planning to complete these in her memory plus do other events too.
Upcoming Events:
- London Marathon 2021 - Mike and Pete Cooper will run the London Marathon together on October 2nd 2021 in memory of Marilyn Cooper. This will be Mike's first marathon and he has been training extremely hard for this challenge. London was one of Mums favourite marathons and she completed it 3 times
