The UAE Athletics Federation, the nation's official athletics governing body, encourages all women in the UAE to participate in the 2nd annual 5k and 10k Women's Run. The UAE Athletics Federation promotes a healthy life style via running, jogging and walking. On Friday 11 November at 7.00am on The Palm, Jumeirah, Dubai myself and 30 friends and colleagues will be participating in the 5K/10K in memory of Chris. The monies raised will go towards the development of genetic testing for cardiomyopathy and help identify which relatives of affected individuals are at risk of disease development and of complications. Losing my husband of 6 months has tested every part of me to the limit. I was fortunate to be part of an amazing man's life whose passion for sport was an integral part of who he was. I know nothing will ever bring Chris back but I have the opportunity to contribute to a cause that can in time prevent another young death. Thank you in anticipation of your support.
