Story

Hello everybody!

I've never done anything like this before so bear with me.  This Friday would have been Dave's 28th birthday and so I thought it was a good time to set up this page.  This summer it will be 10 years since Dave died and I really wanted to mark this with something that I believe is fitting to remember him by, Dave being a regular Forrest Gump and all. 

The charity I have chosen did not help me at the time as I am lucky enough to have some pretty amazing friends but I searched long and hard for something specific to bereaved brothers and sisters.  I hope you will be able to give at least one English pound to them and motivate me on my light jog around Manchester.

I don't want to gush but Dave was brilliant and the funniest and most irritating little shit of a brother, I wish he was here every day if for no other reason than to absolutely annihilate me in this 10k.

Thanks so much for reading this and if you can donate any amount I will be eternally grateful.xxxxxxx
