On Saturday 7th September, a group of us will be running the Battersea Park Half Marathon in memory of our beautiful and beloved friend Ashwin, who tragically passed away in his sleep at the age of 26.

Ashwin was a Foundation Year 3 doctor working in Yorkshire and was loved by everyone he met. He will always be remembered for his beautiful and striking smile that lit up every single room he walked into, and his incredibly kind, loving and generous character. He was always jovial and ready to celebrate life to the fullest, and brought so much joy into everyone’s lives. We will carry him and his legacy with us forever.

We will be raising money for the charity CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young). CRY aims to help prevent young sudden cardiac deaths by raising awareness, promoting screening and research and supporting affected family and friends. This is an incredible charity that we are extremely passionate about supporting in memory of our beautiful friend.

Please feel free to support this fundraiser by making a donation or sharing Ashwin’s story.
