Sussex Athletics is deeply saddened to hear of the death of Dawn Piechoczek after her brave fight with cancer.
Until struck by illness just under two years ago Dawn served as Administrator for the Sussex Athletics Network and County Association where she brought diligence, efficiency and sense of humour to her role in the administration and organisation of all aspects of athletics, road running and cross country in the county.
As Club Secretary for Mel’s Milers not only was Dawn a good organiser, a popular and much loved club member but also a keen and talented runner who frequently picked up age group prizes.
She and club members regularly took part in races all over Sussex, further afield and on trips abroad which Dawn often organised.
Dawn will be sadly missed by her friends and club members in Mel's Milers and the wider athletics community throughout Sussex.
Dawn leaves a husband Johnny and three children Kerry, Esme and Guy. Our thoughts are with them at this difficult time.
Dawn's family, friends and colleagues are invited to a memorial service at: “Bartholemew Barn, Kirdford, West Sussex. RH14 0LN on Friday 16th October at 14:00.
Dress code: Colourful.
There will be drinks and a buffet afterwards.
