A woman from Preston is running a half marathon this Sunday (10 November) in memory of her friend, who died of a cardiac arrest at 15 years old.

Amber Jane Fisher is marking the 10th anniversary of Melissa Smith’s death, who passed away in 2014 whilst playing football.

Both of the girls played for Cadley FC, based in Fulwood.  

Amber is honouring her friend, while also raising money for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) as Melissa’s death was caused by an undiagnosed heart condition.
