A man who often told his daughter he’d do anything for her – even walk all the way from London – is about to do just that.
Santino’s daughter Maria died from a cardiac arrest in 2021 when she was just 17.
Starting on Thursday, Santino and a group of friends will walk 124 miles from London back to his home in Codsall, near Wolverhampton.
The walk will raise money for charities including Cardiac Risk in the Young.
Remembering his daughter, Santino described her as “amazing”.
He said: “She was so thoughtful and caring. She just wanted to help others less fortunate than herself.”
He said Maria would “play big sister” to other children straight away, and had doted on her own siblings when they were born.
“Her smile and her laugh, it was very infectious. She would lighten up any day or any moment,” he said.
