Cardiff’s<\/a> Under-18s.<\/p>\n“We’ll just have to see which opportunities may arise soon and we’ll go from there.”<\/p>\n
First, Ramsey has a marathon to run.<\/p>\n
Ceri Menai-Davis, who has run the London Marathon before, reckons Ramsey has raised more than \u00a325,000 for his charity – and that is before you count donations for Sunday’s race.<\/p>\n
They have been friends for more than a decade and Ramsey’s shows of support for the charity – as well as his fundraising – include the butterfly symbol he used as a goal celebration during his career.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, the most powerful reminder of Hugh’s life will be his father’s huge physical effort – and his son’s shoes draped around his shoulders.<\/p>\n
“He was the most amazing, brave, courageous young boy,” Ceri says. “The reason I do marathons is, just before Hugh died, I stupidly put myself in for a marathon in 2021.<\/p>\n
“I never thought I’d get in but I got in, started training for it and Hugh never got to see me run that marathon because I did it two weeks after he died, and we buried him the next day with my medal.<\/p>\n
“Last year I carried a 22-kilo rucksack, which was the weight Hugh was when he passed away. That was to display what grief weighs on you as a parent.<\/p>\n
“This year, with Hugh’s shoes, he walked into hospital in these shoes and sadly never came out. I wanted him to cheer me on when I did it in 2021 but sadly he never did.<\/p>\n
“I did Paris with his shoes. He never got to see Paris so I showed him the Eiffel Tower and we had a chat all the way round. In London, he’ll be there with me on my shoulders and we’ll cross the finish line together.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
