A rowing challenge held in memory of Winchester businessman Liam O'Sullivan has raised more than £5,000 for charity.

A rowing challenge held on 28 August in memory of Winchester businessman Liam O'Sullivan, who died suddenly from acute cardiac failure aged 43, has raised more than £5,000. O'Sullivan founded and ran GH Property Management Services Limited, which manages estates around Romsey. His brother Ciaran organised the fundraiser to celebrate his life and support causes he cared about.

Staff at the company completed a 100-mile rowing challenge, covering 161.281km on the machine—a figure linked to O'Sullivan's date of birth—plus 69km on an exercise bike. The money raised will fund a defibrillator for the business park where GH is based, with any remaining funds shared between Diabetes UK and St Francis. O'Sullivan was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in his early twenties, making Diabetes UK particularly meaningful to his family and friends.
