Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
We are raising money in memory of our best friend Sean who sadly passed away in August last year from a stroke. Sean was just 30 years old and lived a happy life in Leeds, with his partner Rebecca. Unfortunately he suffered a brain stem stroke one morning and was taken into intensive care at Leeds General Infirmary.
Sean was in hospital for just under two weeks before passing away on the 25th of August 2018. During his time in hospital, his family and partner barely left his side and practically lived in the hospital. Sadly, they had no beds to sleep in and no privacy, simply making do with waiting rooms and corridors on the ward that Sean was in, all while going through the tragedy of their loved one slipping away from them.
To make sure that others in this situation don't go through the same awful experience, we are raising money through Leeds Cares, to set up "Sean's Quiet Room". This will be a room in Leeds General Infirmary, where the families of other people who are in the situation Sean was in can get some much needed rest and privacy.
We are going to be running 3 10ks together in memory of our best friend, the Hull 10k (02/06/19), the Leeds 10k (07/07/19) and the York 10k (04/08/19). We hope to raise as much money as possible as Sean's legacy, in order to stop other families going through what his did.
Thanks!
