"As you are all aware, Janice and I (Kevin) have lost a beautiful and most talented daughter/mother of two and need to have time to ourselves to grieve. Both Janice and I know that you, the media and press, mean well and are deeply concerned about what has happened, but we do need complete privacy on this matter and would like all correspondence, phone calls, emails and text messages to be directed to the Police in charge of this case.
We were so overwhelmed by the response for the run set up by Lydia from NIKE and say a huge Thank You to her. We know in our hearts Jo would have participated if it was for someone else."
