My story
Updated on Nov 17th 2012 at 12:16 AM from the JustGiving API
It's nearly 4 weeks since Kev passed away. Words can't explain how much we're all missing him. Thank you again to everyone who's donated in his memory, it means a lot to know others are thinking of him x
On Sunday 21 October 2012, like thousands of others, Kevin Paterson got up and made his preparations for the Great Birmingham Run. Unlike the thousands of others who took part, Kevin didn’t come home. He collapsed almost as soon as crossing the finish line. Despite receiving the best possible medical treatment immediately, he died. He was 36 years old.
Kevin's wife Katy has chosen Cardiac Risk in the Young as the charity that should benefit from anyone wishing to make a donation in Kevin's memory.
Thank you for taking the time to visit Kevin's JustGiving page. If you would like to make a donation then please do.

Hi all. We've been quiet for a while as we've been waiting for Kevin's inquest before pushing ahead with anymore fundraising. We'll be sure to update you as soon as we can. Thanks for still thinking of Kev - we miss him so much.
Kevin's funeral is this Friday. It is going to be so difficult, but we want the day to do him justice because he deserves it. Thank you all again for donating in his memory.
We have reached £3000, in no small part due to the generosity of Kev's fellow runners. We don't know what to say, other than thank you. Please spread the word.
Thank you for donating. Some of Kev's family and friends have written a tribute to him. If you'd like to learn a little more about Kev, whether or not you were lucky enough to have known him, visit www.facebook.com/RIPKevinPaterson and click on "Notes".
Over £1000 in less than 24 hours is a testament to the man that Kevin was. Thank you all, please spread the word about this great cause.
