Last October I lost one of my best mates, Kory, while he was running the London Royal Parks Half Marathon. He had a wicked sense of humour and a giggle that could catch you off-guard; big ambitions, but always plenty of time for the people he loved; and whenever we were talking in a group, he’d always make sure everyone felt included. A year on, it’s still staggering to think that he’s gone, and I still miss him very much.

In his memory, a bunch of school friends and I will be running the Cardiff Half Marathon in aid of SADS UK. SADS UK is a charity providing information and support to individuals and families affected by cardiac arrest, cardiac conditions or sudden cardiac death.

If you have any money to spare, I will love you very much x
