Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I (with help from Rufus) am committing to walking at least 100 miles over the summer to raid funds for WAY Widowed and Young – the only
charity that supports people widowed before their 51st birthday,
regardless of marital status, gender or sexuality.
I want to do this because, as so many of you will know, WAY has been the most amazing source of support, understanding, friendship, fun, and building a new life for me since my husband Keith died so unexpectedly. I always say that I presume I would have survived being widowed, but it would have been a very different, and infinitely harder experience, without WAY. So I want to help as many people as possible, who find themselves in the same dreadful situation of being bereaved young, to find the help that I did. It really does make all the difference at the worst possible time.
Even if you can’t contribute a lot, I would appreciate it so much if you could donate something. Like most charities, WAY is suffering from
a loss in donations since the Covid-19 outbreak, so I want to help. I know my mileage contribution is small, but it’s part of a team effort so hopefully together, we will make a difference!
Thank you.
