The Chris Smith Memorial Fund has recently awarded its first round of grants. From elite athletes to community development, the money will benefit causes associated with running in memory of the GB athlete who died last year.
@watt_in_perth and @J0hnCassidy spend 10 minutes catching up on the past week before we get into the @TaritTweets content.
Big takeaway from the intro is the @csmemorialfund, please check this out and get involved if you can.

Over the summer, Chris’ colleagues at the Cabinet Office embarked on two hikes across the South Downs and Peak District as a way of coming together to remember him. Check out the absolutely awesome t-shirts! Thanks to all who participated - such a perfect tribute ⛰💚
Looking forward to cheering on the runners and the opening of the amazing memorial which has been developed by Davit lads and Lasses. Details to follow x

It’s 6 months since Chris passed away and our family are setting up a Grants scheme up help young aspiring athletes . We are so grateful for your donations and so privileged to being doing this in Chris ‘s name ❤️
Next Saturday will mark 4 months since @smithcj_5 set out on his last run. To honour this, Chris' mum, sister, sisters-in-law, and wife plan to complete a virtual marathon relay. If you see any of us out running while you're on your essential journeys please give us a wave!
As we stood, socially-distanced in the cold winter sun, waiting for the funeral cortege of a fallen colleague, dozens of private cars and vans passed up and down Castle Street. A nursing colleague asked, "where are all these people coming from and going to?" #StayAtHome
An unbelievable achievement and physical feat and a beautiful dedication to my brother Chris full of his memory . Thank you so so much @russell_runner https://t.co/24CNZIeB40

The wife of a Team GB fell runner who died in Scotland last month said she did not realise the impact he had on people’s lives until his death.
