On 19th May 2024 we lost Mike, my best friend to a sudden cardiac arrest whilst running in the Bristol Half Marathon, a city he once called home. He had no known health issues or family history of young sudden cardiac death.

Mike and I had always talked about doing a Marathon together, and ideas of possible 2025 events had been talked about the night before our race in Bristol. I will be running in memory of Mike, and raising money for CRY to help prevent further tragedies like this.

I will also be running the Lincoln 10k (6/4), and Bristol Half (11/5) for anyone who wants to join me raising money for CRY in memory of Mike ❤️

Miss you more everyday x
