Team Mickey Garcia is raising money for British Heart Foundation

Team: Sore Arse for Mickey Garce ❤️

On Thursday 13th June 2024, our dear friend Maeve Garcia and her 2 daughters Anna and Issy lost the most important man in their lives. The shock of hearing that news was far reaching so Tommy and I wanted to do something to honour our friends.

The below are the words of Maeve and Mickey’s niece Sian.

“Our lives were shattered when, out of nowhere, our beloved Michael 'Mickey' Garcia suffered a cardiac arrest and left us forever 4 days later.

Mickey was healthy and young - he had only turned 61 two days earlier. He wasn't overweight, he didn't smoke, nor drink excessively, and he led an active lifestyle. He had no symptoms at all leading up to his cardiac arrest, but heart disease is a cruel, silent killer.

There aren't enough words to describe how losing him has upended our worlds, or the tsunami of grief that we're left with. He was the most loving, kind, generous, smart, wonderful man that you could ever hope to meet. He was an adoring husband to Maeve, the best father to Anna and Issy, a doting son to Frances and the late Len, beloved brother and brother-in-law, amazing uncle, dedicated godfather and incredible friend to so many. We will never recover from losing him so suddenly and unexpectedly, without any warning or the chance say goodbye.

So we're cycling from London to Brighton on 15th June 2025 - Father's Day, and exactly one year on from the week of his passing - to raise money for the British Heart Foundation and help ensure that, one day, no other families will have to go through what we're going through”

Whatever you can donate, however small, would be so appreciated. I thank you all in advance ❤️ xx
