Ms COUZENS: It was a real pleasure to participate in the final Walk for Johno last Saturday. I have participated in the walk since it began four years ago. Johno suddenly passed away from a heart attack in 2015, leaving behind his wife of 43 years, Sue, and three daughters, eight grandchildren, family and friends who all loved and adored him. John had no signs or symptoms, so the family were given no warning. I have worked closely with John’s daughter Bec Spencer over the past four years to raise as much money as possible for the Heart Foundation. It is looking like this amazing family have raised $100 000. Instead of allowing his death to be an entirely negative event, his family wanted to celebrate his life and memory by creating this fundraising walk, helping to raise funds for the Heart Foundation.
