In 2009 we stood and cheered, with my daughter and wife on either side as you set a new course record in the London marathon and that moment yet again we were proud to be Kenyan, donning our different regalia amidst the pomp with huge smiles on our faces YOU MADE US PROUD!!

Yet the year before in a sports bar near Trafalgar, I watched you with my mates sauntering first into the Birds eye as Kenya claimed her first Olympic marathons medal and with that bragging rights form me on my mates (i made sure they never forgot)again I WAS PROUD TO BE KENYAN!!

Sadly a life taken too soon, well what can i say God does take the best and am sure he needed a training partner in his morning jog, who better else BETTER than OUR Wanjiru.

We will remember your exploits, the infectious smile and i will never forget how you made mince meat of Martin Lel LOTI (laughing on the inside)

RIP CHAMPEZ!! I tip my heart to a great being and a champ we will all rememeber!

With great beings come great flaws!!

Always

Murder should be investigated. Women can murder for the sake of love and money. The police should get to the bottom of this. We cannot lose a young man who despite his escapedes with multiple women, managed to invest in real estate and in shares in such a short period. By the way he was enjoying the fruits of his labour albeit sometimes reclessly.
