In memory of Kunlur Ibironke
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Imagine waiting all day for your husband's call to wish you a happy birthday. You know he hasn’t forgotten because he changed his display picture early in the morning. So you wait. Eventually the call comes, but it isn’t from him, it’s from his HR department calling to let you know that your husband has died. Imagine how that would make you feel. You probably can’t. A nightmare …..only it wasn’t one I would wake up from. This was my reality; news of my husband’s death reaching me on my birthday.
Next month will be a year since I got the news and I have decided to honour my husband’s memory by organising a charity football match.
Kunlur passed away on the 5th Dec 2017 from a heart condition while playing football. Football is something that Kunlur loved. Right from when he was a little boy, Kunlur was passionate about football. He often went ‘missing’ to play football and if ever he could not be found, the football pitch was the place to search. An avid Arsenal supporter, his passion continued in adulthood and Kunlur played football for several different teams: New Convenant, JH, Rangers, Oduduwa and MHBC.
In his memory, our daughters and I are raising money for the British Heart Foundation who do life saving research into all heart and circulatory diseases and the things that cause them.
