Commemorating a friend who blazed brightly in his relatively short time on earth. On 19 May, James will be swimming, running and cycling in memory of adventurous David whose life was cut suddenly short by complications of Marfan syndrome.
My friend David Graham was a very funny, intelligent man who always made everyone laugh with his wit and was always at the centre of any party. He was a dedicated teacher in the Middle East and before that worked for many years in Interpol. He told me of the problem of his Marfan Syndrome inherited from his family and that it was rare and incurable. He just tried to enjoy his life to the full and as best he could. We will all miss him.
I am raising funds with this Nottingham Outlaw Half Ironman to help people like David who weren’t able to have long lives. David tragically passed away in April 2023 aged only 47.
