DEAN Tillings of Sling completed the recent Royal Parks Half Marathon in Hyde Park in London cheered on by his sister Becki and niece Raea Williams.

Dean was running "in memory of his loving nan Brenda Tillings" and to raise money for St. John Ambulance, said friend Zaneta Sciglo.

"They save thousands of lives every day. They looked after his dearest Nan Brenda  in the last few months of her life. If it wasn't for St. John Ambulance Dean and his family would not have had the opportunity to say their last good byes in the last moments of her life.

"St. John Ambulance have also recently saved the life of Dean's best friend who suffered a heart attack. His story was published in the Review few weeks ago." Donations can still be made online at http://www.justgiving.com/">www.justgiving.com/ Dean-Tillings
