Tory Wren was a 20-year old, lively, talented, 3rd year medical student ‘living her dream’ when she was struck down overnight in 2022 by a ‘silent’ pulmonary embolus. Tory was already an enthusiast for medical research and in her memory Claire and Stephen, her parents, generously founded a charity in her memory. In 2024 the fund went towards local research into Parkinson’s. In support, the PMF recruited a team, comprising mostly Tory’s medical student friends, to take part in the Great West Run in Exeter on Sunday 25th May. Through the runners efforts, £4000 was added to the fund.

Runners will again be running in Tory's memory to fundraise for this year's campaign for Brain Tumour Research in the Southwest.
