THE past year for Marc and Becky Pritchard has been a life changing one.

In May 2015 Marc lost his father Kevin, who at the age of 54 died suddenly of a heart attack. Kevin had heart disease but this had not been diagnosed.

In 2014 Kevin had donated a kidney to his wife Pam and was a very active man living his life to the full and has been missed greatly by his family and friends.

In May 2015 Marc and Becky were married in Llangunllo church followed by a reception at Becky’s home farm just outside Knighton.

It wasn't long till heart disease struck again, this time Becky's father David Pugh had a heart attack in November. David has just had a successful triple heart bypass operation and the care and support he and Becky’s mum Chris received was outstanding.

Marc and Becky decided to raise some money in memory of Kevin Pritchard for the British Heart Foundation by doing a sponsored walk to the top of Pen-y-Fan and back in the Brecon Beacons on May 1.

Becky said “We have decided to raise some money for the BHF to help support the amazing work they do on a daily basis. If we can raise any amount of money to help with further research or support for other families we will be achieving what we have set out to do.” If anybody feels they would like to join us on the walk, would like any more information or be kind enough to make a donation by sponsoring us please contact 07890 903334 or 01547 560152 or email beckyapugh2010@hotmail.co.uk.
