On Sunday 13th October I will be running for SLOW - Surviving the Loss of Your World - an organisation that provides support for bereaved families in London and throughout the UK after the death of a child in the family.

Bereaved families say the support groups are a lifeline, giving them the chance to connect and share their experiences with other bereaved families. No one ever wants to be part of this group.

That said, here's what our members say:

"SLOW literally kept me alive. In the early days I just wanted to kill myself, I was just in a dark place. I didn't see a future. I can absolutely say, without a doubt, that without SLOW I wouldn't be here."

“SLOW was like an oasis in the desert, that’s what it was like for me. It was a massive relief”

“I have to say with my hand on my heart, SLOW was what helped me the most and it’s difficult to quantify how, when you’re in that awful state, how or what has helped you. But I knew in my heart what I felt when I left each SLOW meeting, and I still do. I just feel grounded and supported."
