The family of a Monifieth man who died from a rare heart cancer are taking part in fundraising challenges in his memory.
Shelagh Allison described her husband Terry as sporty, enthusiastic and “a real family man”.
The former chartered accountant lost his battle with angiosarcoma on September 13 last year, aged 49.
Now Shelagh and her daughters Kirsty and Fiona are raising money for Sarcoma UK and finished the Great Scottish Run on Sunday as part of that effort.
They were joined by nieces Claire and Cordelia for the 10K and nephew Tony, who ran the half marathon.
The family has already raised £4,360 for the charity that helps those with the rare cancer, which can develop in the muscle, bone, nerves, cartilage, tendons and blood vessels.
Shelagh, 51, said: “Terry underwent emergency open heart surgery in November 2011 after a mass was discovered in his heart, which was subsequently diagnosed as angiosarcoma.
“Terry was a fit person who was always active and looked after his health and his diagnosis came as a shock to everyone.
“He had radiotherapy early in 2012 and was fine until December that year when a brain tumour was discovered.
“Following surgery to remove the tumour, Terry underwent chemotherapy in 2013 and further heart surgery two weeks before he died. He was determined to carry on as normal and worked for as long as he could.”
He led an active life, playing cricket and rugby for Dundee High School FP, golf, five-a-side football, running and cycling.
Shelagh added: “He is remembered as a real family man, very proud of our daughters.”
