David Seath Memorial Fund helps hundreds of wounded soldiers and veterans one year after his death

The brother of Fife soldier Captain David Seath has been telling Forth News about his fight to keep his memory alive - one year on from his death.

The 31-year-old from Cowdenbeath died after suffering a cardiac arrest while running the London Marathon in 2016.

A month after his passing his brother Gary Seath set up the David Seath Memorial Fund. To date the charity has raised over £250,000 which has allowed them to help 175 wounded and sick army personnel and veterans.

"We focus primarily of beneficiaries who have encountered physical and mental trauma from serving for there country. Beneficiaries have used the financial support to purchase special rehabilitation equipment, sports therapy equipment, it has enabled respite care, PTSD therapy and has supported employment placements.

"David was very passionate about supporting veterans in specific regards to PTSD and severe PTSD and this led him to run for Help For Heroes in last years London Marathon.

"When David tragically died it was very important for me to pick up the baton and establish his legacy. I think he'd be very proud but in true military style I think he would say the job is only half done and we must continue for as long as possible."

A group of David's family and friends took part in a 5k in Dunfermline on Sunday to mark 12 months since his death.
