Story
As you are sat reading this, you are a mother, father, sister, brother, grandparent, or friend.
I am sitting here writing this as a mother who was blessed to give birth to 8 wonderful children, I am now however, only a mother to 7 children, as one month ago, my incredibly beautiful, caring, kind & considerate 14-year-old daughter Megan’s life was cruelly taken by the monster that is suicide ~ caused by the vile & evil yet growing trend of bullying. Our hearts have been broken & our family ripped apart. I cannot describe the pain we feel as it is just that – indescribable & this is the reason for my plea.
A few weeks ago, I appeared on ‘This Morning’ with Phillip & Holly. Despite my overwhelming grief, I made the decision that I could either let this tragedy consume me & destroy myself & my family, or I could stand up & speak out to raise awareness of this horrifying situation. I don’t want Megan to become yet another statistic & I don’t want even one more family to feel this dreadful pain or be affected by the devastation that this has caused. I don’t want Megan’s death to be in vain ~ I want to be a voice ~ I want to fight for Megan!
The feedback from the interview was overwhelming with almost 10 million views on the Facebook post and thousands upon thousands of messages of support, showing clearly that this problem is very real & at some point in most people’s lives they have been affected in some way or another by bullying. This is the reason I am setting up Megan’s Starr foundation - to be a platform to help young people reach out & help raise awareness of teen suicide and the devastating effect bullying has - to show that words hurt – words can kill!
I want to ensure that people like yourselves are not sitting in my shoes in the future, and to do this I desperately need to raise funds and this is where you can help. We are looking for donations & would hugely appreciate your assistance.
Please dig deep - it literally could save a life!!
