Story

On the 21st of September Alfie, George, Liam and I will be running the Berlin marathon in memory of my younger brother Harry. Since Harry passed away in January the pain my family's experienced has been unyielding. In tragic situations like these those involved can also feel incredibly isolated.

The Compassionate Friends supports grieving families traverse life after the death of a child. They help to connect families who have lost children, allowing them to feel a little less alone. Knowing what this feels like first hand, I can’t stress the importance of charities like TCF.

As a small charity the money we raise will make a material difference, helping other families in need.

All donations, big and small, are greatly appreciated!
