I will be taking on my first marathon in Brighton on 2nd April and am raising money for Winstons Wish. I lost my mum at 6 years old, 3 weeks before my 7th birthday. I was lucky enough to have an incredibly supportive family and school but sadly that's not the case for many children. That's where Winstons Wish come in! They provide essential support to bereaved children after the loss of a parent or sibling and also support families and schools so they feel equipped to be able to support these children. 

£5          Could provide four specialist publications, which offer parents and professionals advice and guidance on how to help bereaved children cope with their grief.

£8.50     Could enable us to provide one child with a memory box that can be used to store treasured objects, helping them to remember their loved one in a way that is personal to them.

£20        Could cover the cost of operating the charity's website for one day, including Help2MakeSense, a support forum for bereaved young people. .

Any money you are able to donate would be greatly appreciated to support children just like I was, and provide them with the confidence and hope that they can go on to live a happy life beyond their grief.
