Story

The reason I am running for BTRS is in memory of my Dad who died on the 1st of August 2012. I am wanting to do this as it will be a few days after a year since Dad died. Dad raised £110'000 for BTRS this was through climbing national 3 peaks, Many bike rides to wetherby to scarborough,riding from Bristol to Bradford, climbing Yorkshire 3 peaks and also he organised Lands end to John o Groats which he was supposed to be doing with the rest of team. However week before he was taken into St Gemmas Hospice and was there two weeks before passing away. Dad had a brain tumour for 18 years and a cancerous one for 3 years of that. He never gave up and fought for himself and others in this time. This is why I am doing the run as I want to keep his legacy going as much as I can. He was an amazing man who everyone loved not a bad bone in his body. Popular and well loved. He was on the news alot and radio for the charity. Going to the House of commons a couple months before he died eventhough he was very sick . He never gave up and wanted to make a difference which he did, This is why I want to do this run and raise as much as I can for Dad as he isn't here to do it. Miss him everyday. So please help us keep it going .
