This year is Edward's Trust's 25th Anniversary, so the Birmingham Half Marathon will be bigger than ever for 2014! Consisting of supporters from a complete mix of backgrounds, including service users, patrons, staff, twitter followers, completely new supporters and maybe even a founder... (knees allowing!)
Edward's Trust was founded in 1989 in memory of Edward (pictured) who died of cancer aged 7. The trust has been supporting children and families through
bereavement for 25 years, so let's make this a big year to honour all of
that work.
30 a month would buy 15 leaves for our memorial tree at the National Memorial Arboretum
£20 a month would get Memory Books for 20 bereaved children to remember their parent, sibling, or carer.
£10 a month would buy Remembrance gifts for 10 bereaved families to commemorate their loved one.
£100 would provide a fun day out for a bereaved family who may otherwise struggle to find the money, time or motivation. Bereaved children particularly need to know that it is OK for them to still have fun and be happy, even though somebody has died.
£50 would buy a set of craft materials to help children who find it easier to express their feelings creatively than in words
£25 would provide one counselling session
