I have been training for the Brighton Marathon on Sunday 2nd April and decided to take this opportunity to raise money for the charity 'you raise me up'. A local charity based in Polegate that supports bereaved families of young people. They are doing great work and rely solely on charity donations, so please do give a few pounds if you can.

"You Raise Me Up supports families after the death of a child aged 16-25.The charity provides compassion, support and simply to be able to say “we totally understand” rather than “we cannot imagine what you are going through”.We have trained, experienced counsellors available to help families through these dark times. We also run monthly support groups, where you can meet other families going through similar emotions and start to feel less alone. Our support centre and community cafe in Polegate is comfortable welcoming space for all."
