It’s been really tough for the family, but I’m the oldest and I have to keep things together to make sure we carry on. “I can’t put into words what the messages of support from the community mean to us and the family, they’ve been really important.” Wasseem says his father died of a heart attack despite being relatively 'fit' and having no underlying health issues.
