A mum of three from Bristol who was left with PTSD after she discovered her father had suffered a fatal heart attack while she was running a half marathon, has vowed to take on the same race again. Felicity Williams ran the London Landmarks Half Marathon last April.
But sadly after reaching the finish line, she learned that her dad Simon Burridge, 66, had suffered a serious cardiac arrest which put him into a coma before his death a few days later. The 33-year-old communications director and barre instructor, said she missed her family’s phone call about her dad as her phone was on do not disturb during the race. It's a trauma that has stayed with her and ever since, she has not ran outdoors and feels she needs to constantly have her phone by her side.
After finishing the race last year in two hours and six minutes, Felicity said she tried to call her parents, but nobody picked up. Shortly after, she spoke to her youngest sister, Katie, who told her what had happened to their father.
