Story

On Sunday 21st March 2021, We are joining Grief Encounters inaugural covid-secure 'forget-me-not' walk in memory of my dad Martin Lane to raise funds for bereaved children, young people and their families across the UK. 

We will be walking, running, cycling a combined total of 26 miles as a family (including the dogs). It has been 26 years since he passed away and it seemed like now is the perfect time to celebrate his life and raise money for those who are truly suffering.

Just £26 could fund a helpline session for someone impacted by grief, offering them immediate help and advice following a bereavement.

100% of the funds raised will go towards supporting bereaved children and young people who have experienced the death of someone close, and families and individuals impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Since March last year, there have been over 100,000 deaths due to Coronavirus. Grief Encounter offer professional support services online, including group workshops, individual e-counselling and memory workshops for all of those who need them. 

They can't do that without your support.
