We help children and their families to cope facing and following bereavement

Story

What we have in common – heritage, ginger hair, inadequate training, a desire to be fitter than we are etc.

We’ve spoken for years about a more uneasy common ground - Nick’s mum passing away when he was young and more recently my sister in law, Philippa, leaving behind Kev his two boys, Ben and Toby.

Hearing about the support Daisy’s dream offered to Phil, Kev and the boys confirmed what Nick already suspected that having skilled support in a very difficult situation is a great thing. Having a service who are experienced and can help guide families through a massive shift in their normality is something, from different perspectives, that we both believe in.

All the money we raise will go to the charity, we are funding the trip ourselves, so please give generously.

Here are a couple of videos from us that explain why we are doing it. Mine is a radio thing my brother did helping to raise awareness for the charity. Nick's explains the different experience he had...without support from organisations like Daisy's dream...
