Mr Osborne, whose daughter Amy died in her sleep aged 25 in 2017, had raised £169,025 through the charity row as of March 28 for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) with the support of sponsors, helping to fund around 3,000 lifesaving heart screening tests for under-35s.
“Despite the challenge, each painstaking mile has been worth it, and it is the most humbling and rewarding feeling to know that every pull on the oars will give at least one young person the chance to receive lifesaving tests and be spared from experiencing the same tragic fate as Amy did.”
Dr Steven Cox, chief executive at CRY, said: “We are privileged to continuously receive inspiring support from families such as Amy’s who sadly know all too well the pain of losing a loved one at a young age to sudden cardiac death.
