'To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.' (Oscar Wilde)

Well I was 'careless' and lost both of minewithin a few years of each other and if it had not been for the care and helpof 'Cruse' in Cambridge, i'm not sure I would be coping so well.

Running a marathon is easy compared to 'fessing up' to how you feel after the loss of somebody, but with the help, challenge and support of the Cambridge Cruse team I got through what seemed like an emotional long distance event.

I want to say thank you to Cruse by raising some money for this voluntary charity, where people give their time and expertise to help others. So please ‘give’ to me, to help Cruse support others.
