Thanks for visiting my page. I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation in memory of my wonderful father-in-law, Mark.

I will be running along side Lucy and Luke as they raise money for the RNLI as Mark was a very committed, loyal member of the RNLI in Port Isaac.

In the early evening of May 14th 2023, the pagers sounded for an immediate launch. Mark rushed to the lifeboat station in his Shore Crew role, disconnecting the chargers from the lifeboat and the launching vehicle, and making everything ready for a quick launch. During the launch, Mark got a bit wet, so he said that he was going to pop home and change his jeans and go back. The crew saved the life that day of the person who had got in to difficulty.

A short time later, Tara called one of the RNLI crew to say that Mark was feeling unwell. The crew that were still in the boathouse following the launch, headed over to help Mark in his time of need, but despite the best efforts of the lifeboat team, and that of the ambulance service personnel, sadly it was not to be after suffering with a Heart Attack.

I'm choosing to run the London Marathon for the British Heart Foundation to help continue to fund the research to help others.

Thanks for your support,
