It is with deep regret and sorrow that we have to announce that Bill Young has finally lost his fight with cancer. After many years keeping it at bay, it finally sneaked up on him and he passed away on Saturday 11 February. As Glynis says, at least he is now at rest and free of pain.

Bill was one of the Striders founder members, coming to running a lot later in life than is usual for most people, although he had always been a fit man. And he brought to his running a spirit and determination, as well as good humour and friendliness that was the mark of his character in general, not just in running. Those of us who saw it, will not easily forget the way he completed his 100 marathons, or the sheer bloody mindedness that made him finish the South Downs 80 miler, having struggled so badly the previous year. And with his beloved Striders he was to serve the club in many, many ways, both as Vet's captain and Chairman and, in his later years, as Press Officer and keeper of the Club records.

Anyone's passing is obviously a time of great sorrow, but Bill Young has left a massive gap in Seaford Striders that will never be filled.

Postscript: Bill was given a splendid send-off at his funeral on Friday 24 February and afterwards at The Seaford Con Club, where family and friends celebrated his life in the sort of party atmosphere that Bill himself always loved to be part of.
