Well, you may have heard in the news, in Britain about the death of a fitness instructor after the London Marathon. Although I did not personally know him, I knew his face, and I also knew that he was really loved around the club, and this is shown by the general atmosphere around the area. He died at the age of 22, but he wasn't just running the marathon for himself, he was doing it to raise money. He managed to raise over £1300, and sadly passed away yesterday. I just wanted to pay my respects. But when it comes down to it, he died doing what he loved.
Dave Rogers, a highly liked personal trainer died in London Marathon...

well, from bbc news yesterday:
The cause of the 22-year-old's death has not officially been released, although the Daily Telegraph reported it was due to hyponatraemia following kidney failure caused by a sodium deficiency.
but then today:
A 22-year-old man died after completing his first London Marathon because he drank too much water.
David Rogers collapsed at the end of the race and died yesterday in Charing Cross Hospital.
Today it emerged the fitness instructor from Milton Keynes died from hyponatraemia, or water intoxication.
This is when there is so much water in the body that it dilutes vital minerals such as sodium down to dangerous levels. It can lead to confusion, headaches and a fatal swelling of the brain.
