In 2018 Ben died suddenly due to an undetected aortic dissection.

Since his death, his mum, Pauline, has worked with experts, sufferers and their families to establish The Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust (TADCT).

Ben would have been 50 this year and so we're asking his friends and family to donate to this worthy cause in his memory, to hopefully raise awareness so that no other family or group of friends has to endure the loss that we have.

2000 people per year lose their lives from aortic dissection in the UK. TADCT is the UK and Ireland charity uniting patients, families and the medical community in a shared goal of improving diagnosis, increasing survival and reducing disability due to aortic dissection.
