Emotional race as Team David raises £3,000 for charity        

Bognor Regis Observer  -  19th May 2011

 

 

Family and friends pulled on their running shoes in memory of a Bognor Regis teenager.

 

Forty family and friends of 19-year-old David Green, who died last December from an undiagnosed hereditary heart condition, dug out their trainers and took part in Sunday's 2011 Bognor Prom 10K Race. 

 

Dubbed "Team David", the runners raised more than £3,000 for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY). 

 

David's mum Gabby Broadhurst said: "It was a brilliant day.  Everyone did really well. 

 

"We all ran together and some people managed really good times.  My sister, who is not a keen runner, walked around the course, and my brother who ran the race with David, managed a time of 52 minutes. 

 

"It was very emotional as we all wore T-shirts with David's picture on, and David had run the race himself. 

 

"So far we have raised more than £3,000, which we were not expecting.  After the race people just came up to us and gave us donations.  It was incredible." 

 

Sunday's fundraising effort was the latest in a series of event David's family and friends have been involved with. 

 

Gabby will be running in the Great North Run as part of the CRY team and hopes to raise even more funds.
