'I was living in Spain at the time and mummy phoned one morning to say daddy thought he was having a heart attack'
Back in February, leading local health charity Northern Ireland Chest Heart & Stroke held their annual Red Dress Fun Run at Stormont Estate.
Many people choose to take part in the Red Dress Fun Run in memory of a loved one who has sadly passed away from a chest, heart or stroke related condition. “They confirmed he had had a heart attack and said he would need triple bypass surgery. He couldn't leave the hospital before the operation. Gaby continued: “Mummy found him early that morning. It was just such a terrible shock because only 24 hours earlier we were told he was ok to go home. It has been such a tremendous loss to our family and everyone that knew daddy.
“That is why raising awareness of heart health and the fact that heart problems can affect anyone has become so important to me.” “Since the Red Dress Fun Run, I have done quite a lot of work with NICHS. I volunteered at a pre-loved fashion fundraiser event recently and organised my own fundraising event during the Miss Northern Ireland competition.
“Doing something good in daddy’s memory has helped me and I am glad it is helping Northern Ireland Chest Heart & Stroke too.”
