Gabe’s Gift

We tragically lost my little brother Gabriel on the 8th May 2025. He was the most caring, funny and determined young man who will be sorely missed by our family and friends.

Amongst other things, such as his passions for art and design, he was an incredible runner. I was inspired by his love of keeping active to run Liverpool Half Marathon with him this year. Despite him being much faster than me, he started in the pen with me because he didn’t want me to be anxious. That describes him to a T, he always looked out for me & despite leaving me within the first 100m, he was always there to cheer me on.

Manchester Half (on my University home turf) will be the first of a lifetime of runs in honour of my wonderful boy, as he cannot grace the roads again. We always wanted to do a marathon together, but I wanted to enter Manchester as it will be 1 week after Gabriel’s 21st, and he’ll be cheering me along!

Derby Mountain Rescue is close to our hearts as they brought my lovely lad down with dignity, and their care has been very special to my family. All funds raised goes towards their cause, so it is greatly appreciated <3
