A partnership story
For those running in memory of someone they love, Remember Me gives that person more than a name on a vest — it gives them a story, a voice and a forever space.

Running the London Marathon in memory of
1958 — 2022
Alan was more than the name on Emily’s marathon vest. He was her dad, her biggest supporter and the reason she kept going when the miles got hard. This page keeps his story alive before, during and long after race day.
The memories behind the miles
Before the story, before the race and before the finish line, there are the moments that explain why this person is loved so deeply.

The reason I’m running
When the race gets hard, I’ll remember their strength. When the crowds get loud, I’ll imagine them cheering. And when I cross the finish line, I’ll know I carried their story with me the whole way.
Remembered for
The little qualities, habits and moments that made them unforgettable to the people who loved them.
Alan’s family was his world. He showed his love in practical ways — lifts, phone calls, Sunday dinners, small jobs around the house and always being there when he was needed.
He had a dry sense of humour, the sort that caught you off guard and made everyone laugh before they even realised what he had said.
Alan never made a big show of helping people. He just quietly did what needed to be done. That was who he was.
Life moments
The memories, chapters and details that tell the story behind the person being carried through every mile.
Alan grew up with a strong sense of family, humour and loyalty. Those values stayed with him throughout his life and shaped the way he treated everyone around him.
Becoming a dad was one of the greatest joys of Alan’s life. He was protective, proud and always there, even when he pretended not to be emotional about it.
Some of the best memories were the simplest ones — cups of tea, Sunday dinners, familiar stories, laughter in the kitchen and everyone feeling at home.
His favourite chair, his familiar phrases, his way of making a brew, his little routines — they are the things his family misses most.
The London Marathon has become a way of carrying Alan forward. Every mile is a thank you, a memory and a promise that his story will keep moving.
His family, his humour, his kindness and always being the person people could count on.

“Your laugh, your kindness and your stories are still with us every day.”
“You always knew how to make people feel better. We miss that more than words can say.”
“Still expecting you to walk through the door with a joke and a cup of tea.”
“This page says what a race vest never could — who you really were.”
Light a candle
