A Leeds man is taking on a touching challenge in memory of his partner's late fiancé, who died suddenly three months before her wedding.

Rob Golding, 29, had his life cut short after he went into cardiac arrest in February 2021, leaving his fiancée Amy Charlton heartbroken.

He had no diagnosed health conditions and it took six weeks for a coroner to establish the cause of his death as Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS).

Amy's world was ripped apart but she "pushed on" with the support of her family and friends, who took turns to stay with her in the home she had shared with Rob in Halton.

"He was a gentle giant," Amy, 30, told the Yorkshire Evening Post.

"He was a big guy and a rugby fanatic - and really funny. He was constantly coming up with one-liners.

"Everybody that met him fell in love with him."

Although Amy wasn't looking for another relationship, she met Steve in August last year and the pair established a friendship.

From the beginning, Steve supported Amy through her ongoing grief and was committed to keeping Rob's memory alive.

"It took us a little while, but slowly it developed into something more," Amy said.
