Climbing Scafell Pike in Memory of Tony ❤️

On 12th August 2025, my world changed forever when my beloved partner, Tony Bennett, died suddenly from a Type A aortic dissection.

Tony was just 58 years old. His death was completely unexpected and has left a hole in the lives of everyone who loved him.

To honour Tony’s memory and help raise awareness of aortic dissection, I will be climbing Scafell Pike alongside my sister-in-law, Olivia, and Tony’s good friend, Beefy.

We will be taking on the climb on the anniversary of Tony’s funeral — a day that will always be incredibly difficult, but one that we hope to turn into something positive in his memory.

We are raising money for Aortic Dissection Awareness, helping to shine a light on a condition that can strike suddenly and without warning. By raising awareness, we hope that more people will recognise the signs and symptoms of aortic dissection, potentially saving lives.

This climb is for Tony. ❤️

For the laughs, the memories, the love and the life that should have been so much longer.

If you can spare anything to support us, we would be incredibly grateful. Every donation, no matter how small, will help us honour Tony’s memory and support this incredibly important cause.
