This is my first go at anything like this - Anyone that knows me well might be a bit surprised to see that I've signed up for a half marathon. 13.1 miles of fun. 

Well, it's happening, and I'm doing it for a great cause - Parental bereavement charity, Surviving the Loss of Your World .

They are an award-winning charity that has been running bereaved parent support groups and sibling workshops in London for over twelve years.  The charity runs 90 groups over the year in Islington and Streatham supporting families following the devastating loss of their child.
