Bill Preest died on 19 October 2005 aged 37 of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) caused by an irregular heart rhythm. He left a wife, Helen, and 2 children Lauren and Oliver, then aged 2 and 3.
We are running for SADS UK. They have helped many families ~(including ours) to deal with the tragic loss. We can use the money to purchase equipment in Bill's memory, including heart monitors for GP Surgeries which may help to diagnose the condition and defibrilators for secondary schools to revive anyone who collapses (it is particularly common in teenagers whilst playing sport). SADS UK also raise money for research into the condition.
Jane Preest (Bill's mum) and Mary Cameron (Helen's mum) are also going to do the challenge and at their tender age I think that's fantastic. To top their efforts is the the lovely Lauren Preest (Bill's 7 year old daughter) and Charlotte Kettel (aged 8). Let's hope the children don't ask the "olds" for a piggy back after the first 500 metres! I fear it may be the other way round...... Anything is possible........
