My story

 
My name is Kerrie and as many of you are aware I unexpectedly lost my wonderful Dad in May to a fatal heart attack.  My Dad had just turned 65 and after working extremely hard all of his life was looking forward with my Mom to enjoying retirement, unfortunately he didn’t get the time he deserved.
 
My Dad was a devoted and loving family man and as a tribute to him, and also to the dedicated medical team who tried to save him, I have decided to raise money for Action Heart by running the London Marathon.

Running the marathon would have made my Dad very very proud.  I'm determined to achieve this in his memory and by doing so raising as much money as possible to assist Action Heart in saving lives.  My dad gave so much love to us all that I feel honoured on behalf of my family and friends and especially my mom and sister to run in his memory.  I hope by raising money for Action Heart that others are prevented from facing the pain of loss that we are facing.
 

Coronary heart disease is now seen to be the UK's biggest killer and Action Heart are dedicated to the primary and secondary prevention of this condition. I am now personally involved with Action Heart through their running facilities and see first hand the dedication of their team of workers and volunteers.   


Do please help me to support them and make my tribute to my Dads memory a proud one.  Please dig deep, rather than spend your money on a few extra pints or that pair of shoes you don't really need please find it in your heart to donate, there is nothing more important than ensuring we all have more time on this earth with our loved ones.
  

A big big thankyou for reading my page and supporting me with this tribute to a wonderful loving man.
