“live for today, hope for tomorrow”
Life can be very sad and unfair. On the 26th January 2009, my uncle, Barry Meek went to work just like he always has. Everything about this day was normal. That is until early afternoon lessons at Huntcliff Comprehensive School where Barry was a talented maths teacher. Barry suffered a fatal heart attack at 52 years old and passed away on the 27th January. This was a very hard time for my family, especially my auntie and cousin. At times like this it feels like there isn’t anything you can do to help them but I wanted to do something that could help prevent others going through something similar.
In memory of my uncle and to raise awareness of heart health I am climbing Kilimanjaro with the British Heart Foundation. I plan to raise £5,000 for the charity to help them achieve their vision, which is, “a world in which people do not die prematurely of heart disease.”
I have decided to pay in £1950 to the fundraising total myself so that the costs associated with the climb are covered and all of your sponsorship will go to the British Heart Foundation.
Raised so far: £7,441.27
