Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My daughters  ❤️ are running the half marathon in memory of my little sister and her daughter, my niece. Stephanie was 25 years old and her daughter Lili- Beau was 9 months old. They were murdered by the hands of the man that should have loved and protected them. They have been gone 13 years.

Although, this trauma is one that eases every day through the love and support from family, friends and others, it is something that we have to face still. One day his sentence will end and we will face a renewed hurt. The pain of losing two young lives, lives with us all daily.

This is where SAMM come in. The support and care from the staff and many volunteers provides a shared understanding to those in need and suffering from these horrific crimes. SAMM really are life changing, they have shared in this pain and use it as a tool to help others through their grief and it is something I am proud to be part of! 

Thank you so much for all of your donations. The girls are ready to run tomorrow, proudly in their yellow SAMM t-shirts !
