Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit Paul's JustGiving page that supports Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY)

Paul sadly passed away on 2nd March 2021 aged 41.

It’s hard to believe that such a positive, thoughtful, generous human being, with such a massive personality, could leave us. He brought hope and confidence; his genuine enthusiasm, real energy and love for life was contagious and swept everyone along in his path. He had an amazing impact on people all around the world; a true inspiration.

Pauls’ mantra was to enjoy life, be kind, make each day a big day, get excited and move more. He knew from experience and research, that these things really help you feel good!

Paul's belief in making movement fun inspired him throughout his coaching and teaching career. His, business  Movement and Me  www.movementandme.com had ‘Enjoyment’ ‘Confidence’ and ‘Motivation’ as core values. Through this he started to implement programmes within schools, communities and organisations, which were helping many more to see how the enjoyment of physical activities can build a person’s confidence and wellness.
His work supported the World Health Organisation and International Physical Literacy Association and created movements in the Middle East with the Every Girl Can programme. This was created to inspire women across the Middle East to develop their enthusiasm for physical activity, as a tool to build their self-esteem and personal wellbeing.

We take comfort knowing that he lived life to the full, inspired many and know his legacy will continue.

In memory of Paul, we have set up this just giving page to raise money for two charities. He would love to see the impact that support for these charities will have on people’s lives.

 

Cardiac Research in the Young (C.R.Y) Charity, who are preventing young sudden cardiac deaths through awareness,
screening and research, and supporting affected families. 

 The Wingate Special Children’s Trust, which was very close to his heart as it is where he started his coaching career, helping children and young people with physical and learning disabilities.  Paul coached gymnastics, which is particularly helpful in developing core physical, cognitive and emotional skills and develops self-esteem through achievement, encouragement and recognition.
