Photos of people on life support or dead when trying to run a race is too much

Hope I don't sound like a complete bitch, I have ran at least 1 charity run a year for the last 20 years, I'm not a natural runner, a bit big, but am always pleased with myself at the end of it especially if I manage to raise funds for a worthy charity.
However I hate running behind someone who has a pic of someone with tubes coming out of them or a picture of someone who died or look like they are just about to.
I know the runner might be going through some horrible stuff (although with some runs it's just that the charity route was the only way in).
But, are these images really necessary?

@PerfectTuesday That’s fair, it probably was. 😅 OPs comment of “I’ve raised £100k, you only get to comment if you’ve done the same” tipped me over the edge. My bad!

I agree with you OP. I'd hate it too. And I'd hate to be plastered on someone's T-shirt on death's door,

@bananafake And they never get asked do they? Would you like your pix stuck on my running shirt when you are looking at your absolute worst? No thanks! Not me. I must remember to write this in my will. No pictures at deaths door.
