In November of last year my Step-Grandad, Steve, suffered what would be his 4th and final heart attack and after being on life support, passed away. It was a huge blow to our family, particularly for my brother and Step-Mom (Sam). It was so hard for my dad and Sam to explain to my 3 year old brother that his Grandad, whom he loved so dearly, had gone to heaven.
And so today, in memory of him and in support of the foundation that helped him so much whilst he was alive, they ran 5km in the Wyre Forest. In total they raised approximately £500 for the charity and I am so unbelievably proud of them and I know that Steve would have been too.
We plan to do it every year and next year I will also be doing the run. Unfortunately I wasn't able to do it this year but I was so happy to look after my brother whilst they ran and to cheer for them when they crossed the finish line. It was very emotional for us all when they finished but it was for such a great cause and we had a lovely pub lunch after to celebrate!
