Tragic passing of Pamela Chesopich Lisoreng

BELGRADE, SERBIA

March 15th, 2014

With a strong sense of shock and disbelief I am reaching out to all our friends and associates and athletics fraternity at large with sad news of tragic passing of Pamela Lisoreng of Kenya.

Pamela finished earlier today her run and on her way back home she suddenly collapsed and was pronounced dead by the time she reached the hospital in Eldoret.

No further information is available at this stage.

Pamela’s husband, Boniface Kirui, young son, family, friends and numerous athletes have lost wonderful spouse, mother, loved one and friend.

Pamela’s gentle nature and warm smile are what is to live with us in these days of mourning and forever.
