On Sunday 26th May I'll be taking on my first (possibly only) marathon, at the Edinburgh Marathon Festival. I'd like to use this opportunity to raise some money to support the charity Richmond's Hope.

Richmond's Hope provide support for children and young people who have been bereaved. The charity provides a safe space for children to work through their grief. By creating individual programmes of care for each child and offering support to the families of the children who attend, they recognise that each person’s grief is different.

As something that has affected my life, I know that the support afforded by RH will be vital to so many young people and their families as they come to terms with their loss.

Please donate as much or as little as you can to help support Richmond's Hope to continue to provide a great service.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
