This time last week Richard and Nikita were your typical young couple, trying to find enough hours in the day to meet the demands of being young parents to their children Alesha and Noah.

Unfortunately on Thursday 20th February this young family’s life was torn apart when Richard suddenly and unexpectedly passed away from a cardiac arrest.

Richard was a top guy loved by all that met him, and will be greatly missed by all of his friends and family. I’m sure we all have some great memories and photos of the times we’ve spent together to look back over and share.

I’m hoping that if everyone can pull together and donate a few £’s regardless of how small the amount then maybe between us we can make this horrendous time a little less stressful for Nikita, Alesha and Noah.
