Wye Valley Runners Announcement.
Wye Valley Runners and the whole of the Herefordshire running community are devastated to learn of the untimely death of our much-loved friend and colleague Jan Edwards.
Jan has always been at the centre of our Club. She was everyone’s friend, a shoulder to lean on and the life and soul of our club.
Jan excelled at her sport and won numerous awards in races across the UK and Europe. Along with her partner Brian, Jan was a fantastic ambassador for our sport. She will be hugely missed by all of us.
In Jan’s honour, the club plans to send a donation to Missing People the charity dedicated to helping families of missing persons. We send our love and condolences to Brian and all of Jan’s family.
We also pass on our sincere thanks to the Herefordshire community for their amazing support in our search for Jan.
RIP Jan.
