Every step they run helps a grieving child take a step forward.

When a child experiences the death of a parent or loved one, their whole world can fall apart. Grief can affect everything – from mental health and relationships to school attendance and daily life. That’s why our Royal Parks Half Marathon team is running: to raise £20,000 to fund life-changing, one-to-one bereavement support for children who are struggling to cope.

This support transforms lives. One parent told us:

“Since Grief Encounter’s support, my son has returned to school with a spring in his step and has attended every day. He told me, ‘When Dad died I was 90% broken, and now I feel 10% broken.’ I really can’t thank Grief Encounter enough.”

Your donation will help provide specialist therapy to more children like him — when they need it most.

Please support our runners and help grieving children find hope, healing, and the strength to move forward.
