On 17th January 2023 we lost a very special member of our family. Jona was only 27 and is loved, missed and remembered by us all every day. 

Some of the family are running the Oxford half marathon in October, others there as the support crew, in his honour.  It’s going to be a beautiful day (once the race is over) of love, memories, laughter and tears. 

Jona loved Africa and felt at home there. The money raised will go towards educational and medical projects in the continent that were close to his heart, some of which involved people he knew and worked with on his many gap years.Jona went to medical school as he had a dream of going back to Africa as a doctor. He had so much ability and potential which tragically he became victim to in the end.That dream won't happen for Jona now, but this fund could help students in Malawi achieve it with medical school scholarships in his memory.

The world's a darker place without Jona. His unique perspective, energy, and clean hearted caring soul is missed by many. But hopefully some good can come out of his passing.
