Steven Gilmour

The 10th May 2020 started off a typical Sunday. Steven was 50 years old. He was a fit and healthy man, in his own words on this day he said he was the fittest he had ever felt.

This weekend in fact he was supposed to run the West Highland Way over 3 days, his 50th birthday gift to himself supported by a few friends from the running community, however was postponed due to Covid. 

The day for him started with a 10 mile run followed by a family walk. Into the afternoon he collapsed at home, our neighbours 2 nurses carried out CPR whilst we waited for an ambulance. Sadly the outcome of the day is one no one could have prepared for. He was taken without warning, no time for goodbye & left us & this world far too soon. He had so much living left to do. Steven had been living with an undetected heart issue.

Our hearts are broken every hour of everyday that passes & we miss him more. 

Steven was the kindest man, he was caring & loved looking out for everyone he knew, especially his family. He was a devoted husband to Lorraine. Together as husband & wife and as best friends they shared wonderful years of unconditional love & memories to last a lifetime. An amazing Dad to Jordan & Eve & dog Dad to Winnie, his little ‘brown eyed girl’. Precious son to Lynn & brother to Colin. 

Steven loved being active & the great outdoors & never missed an opportunity to seize the day whether it be running, walking, cycling or playing football. Over the years he raised thousands of pounds for charity, always to humble to keep track of monies raised. He loved a party & his larger than life personality lit up any room, usually followed by him singing karaoke.

He was always positive & his infectious smile is missed by everyone who knew him friends/family/sports communities/work colleagues & the young people & their families he supported. Such a positive role model who had so much time to give to others. 

We hold our treasured memories of our irreplaceable Steven/Dad close to our hearts. He will live on in our broken hearts forever. As a family we want to raise awareness to prevent other families from this utter devastation, unbearable pain & heartache. We can all make a difference. 

This memorial fund has been set up in Steven’s memory, his legacy. I’m sure he would approve, sadly no longer with us yet still inspiring others. You only have one heart ❤️ 

This memorial fund has been set up by the family to help CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) raise awareness of young sudden cardiac death, support those affected, support CRY’s screening programme and fund research and pathology.

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Cardiac Risk in the Young to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Cardiac Risk in the Young will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Cardiac Risk in the Young receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
