Stephen Chamberlain was about six miles into his morning run when he was tragically hit by a car, leading to his death in the hospital.
His son, Teddy Chamberlain, has vowed to finish the run his father couldn’t complete, and he’s inviting others to join him as a tribute.
According to the BBC, Mr. Chamberlain was a key figure in the tech world and was recently acquitted in a major US fraud trial alongside British tech tycoon Mike Lynch.
He had a strong connection to Cambridgeshire, having grown up there and being deeply involved in the local football scene.
As the BBC reports, Mr. Chamberlain had also volunteered as an unpaid finance director for Cambridge United Football Club, dedicating his time to help the club transition to new ownership.
His death has deeply affected the community, with many paying tribute to his kindness and competitive spirit. The driver involved in the accident stayed at the scene and is cooperating with the police, according to the BBC.
Teddy Chamberlain’s plan to complete his father’s run has brought people together to honor the memory of a man who left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.
