On the 1st of April 2012, we lost someone who will never be replaced. A great Dad, Brother, Partner, Friend... an allround good guy.

Just before Christmas 2011, Gary was having dizzy spells and often found himself collapsing and blacking out without any warning signs. After a visit to the doctors, Gary was diagnosed with Syncope. 

Syncope is a medical term for fainting which can be linked to the heart or the brain. 

As we all know, Gary enjoyed going out for a jog and riding his bike. He was led to believe he had a healthy heart... (Not to mention, a heart of gold!) 

Sadly, Gary passed away due to Arrhythmia of the Heart. This means his heart was not beating in a steady rhythm, and could have been an underlining cause of his Syncope. 

STARS is a registered charity which helps raise awareness of Syncope. We, as a family, believe that if more of us know about Syncope, the more we can help prevent the loss of the "Gary's" in your lives...

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
