Friends and family run for Joe

Friends and family of Joe, who collapsed and died while out running last year have triumphed in the Rothley 10k charity run.

Meg Holland, who was training with Joe on the night he died from Sudden Arrhythmic Disorder (SADs) last October. They had planned to do the Rothley 10k together.

Along with other friends and family Meg took part in the race in honour of Joe, and to raise funds for the trust set up in his name.

Also running in the junior race was Josh Gilbert-Weavers, Joe's friend and fellow student at De Lisle College in Loughborough.

Meg took first prize in the junior female category with a time of 48.52 mins, and Josh came first in the junior male category, and 3rd overall with a time of 35.08 mins.

Meg and Josh were among 30 runners representing the Joe Humphries Memorial Trust. They included Joe's friends, family, and teachers from De Lisle College.

Joe's dad Steve Humphries, who also took part in the race said: "What an incredible achievement by Meg and Josh. They are an enormous inspiration to other young people and Joe would have been very proud of them, and of all of those who ran to raise awareness of the trust and the important work it is doing."
