Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Those of you who know me - well I do enjoy running short distances, I've completed 1 x half marathon in 2019 and that was a challenge!  However I feel passionate enough about the ELY fund and the super work that they do locally across Herefordshire. So I'm hanging up my wine , fizz and gin and dusting off my trainers. In memory of an amazing young lady that tragically lost her life in a road traffic accident. 

A little about ELY - please feel free to donate and wish me well on my journey! You're support is greatly appreciated 😘

The Charity was set up in memory of Emma Louise Young (E.L.Y.). Emma tragically lost her life in a road traffic collision. She was just 23 and daughter to my wonderful friends family.

We set up the fund in March 2011 with the objective to relieve financial hardship for families within the County if their son or daughter, between the age of 17 to 25, is tragically killed in a road traffic collision.

We provide a condolence gift to contribute towards the funeral costs so a family can mourn and arrange their child’s funeral without the added stress and financial burden. We also provide help and support through other groups, such as looking into life insurance, will writing and emotional support for victims of road traffic collisions.

Our other objective is to support young people across the county to become safer drivers, educating them in road safety to help reduce road collisions involving young drivers.

Donating through JustGiving is 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.
