After the sudden passing of Stephen’s Gran due to cardiac arrest, we are reminded of the importance of heart health and the impact it has on families like ours. With multiple heart conditions affecting our loved ones, we have decided to take action by participating in the adidas Manchester Marathon, scheduled for April 19th, 2026. This event holds special significance as it falls just one day before the one-year anniversary of our loss and coincides with Marissa’s 30th birthday celebration.

This marathon is not just a race; it is a tribute to life, resilience, and hope. We aim to raise £800 for the British Heart Foundation, an organisation dedicated to fighting heart disease and supporting those affected by it. Your generous donations will help fund vital research and initiatives that can save lives and prevent future tragedies.

We invite you to join us on this journey. Every contribution counts, no matter how small. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against heart disease. We will document our training progress over the coming year and share our experiences on event day. Thank you for your support as we honour our loved ones and strive for a healthier future ❤️
