I first met Ross in school where we quickly became close friends. Over the years our friendship group spent a lot of time together at Ross' house, particularly whilst we were at college. I have some of my favourite memories with Ross there - we would spend hours chatting and dancing to the music we both loved. I am so grateful to have those times to look back on and feel very lucky to have spent so many happy years being Ross' friend. 

In the month leading up to Ross' birthday I will be walking the distance between our houses (1.5 miles) every day. As well as being able to do something in Ross' memory, this is a chance to raise some money for an amazing charity. Any donations will go to the British Heart Foundation, who are working on new treatments and cures for heart and circulatory disease. Losing Ross so suddenly has been heartbreaking for all his friends and family and we hope the money we raise can prevent deaths like this in the future.
