I met Bryan through work at the leisure centres but our paths just continually crossed. Although we came from very different places and took very different routes to get there, we always ended up in the same destination. Sports massage, physio therapy assistants, marathon running and then club running. We did our first marathons at the same time. And when I did my last one in London (9 months after having my son) Bryan literally got me to carry on, I was ready to drop after starting too fast and we just happened to bump into each other amongst the thousands of people. He gave me a hug and told me I could do it. And I did. But I really don’t know if i would have done if it wasn’t for him. A true gentleman and one of the most positive people I have ever met. Elisa x
