Story
10 years ago, my wee brother Christopher was killed in a hit-and-run accident in Richhill when he was only 17 years old. Many of you reading this will remember Christopher for the fun loving eejit that he was & I know that he's still missed by so many people...
I felt it would be worthwhile in trying to raise a wee bit of cash for a charity called 'BRAKE'. They provide justice and support for victims, educate young people on the dangers of our roads & campaign for tougher sentences for hit-and-run drivers.
(Believe it or not but if the driver of the car that was involved in Christophers accident had been or is ever caught, they could end up with only 3 months or even a suspended sentence!)
Sooooo....on the 31st March 2012, I'm going to be running 100k/61 miles! (Yes, in one go!) in the Causeway Crossing race.
It would be amazing if you could donate whatever you can!
There's a wee bit of Christopher in every single day of my life. I'll never forget him and am so glad that we all have so many great memories of him.
He'll be having some laugh at me trying to run 100k for him...that'll keep me going though ;)
