Story

I’m raising money in memory of my dad who passed away in a devastating road traffic collision in 2018. The photo is one of the last I have with my dad. I am now 7 years older and running for this charity can now allow me to repay the wonderful care they gave to both my dad & my mum, who amazingly survived. My dad was a wonderful man, a family man & a man who would do anything for his family. My mum has had to be mum & dad to both my brother and myself since my dad died. The ambulance service saw things that day that no human should see; they see things like this on a regular basis & they need to have a huge amount of assistance to support them in their day to day job. Dying in a road traffic accident suddenly leaves a void and messages unsaid; it wont only be me…….more people will suffer the same, I want to support this amazing charity.
