Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
My name is Harry and I am 16 years old. My Grandma asked if I would support a charity close to her heart 'Talking about Loss' by taking part in the October 1000K challenge. She asked if I could run 100K for the group. So I said yes and here I am trying to complete 100K run over the month of October for this worthy cause.
Talking about Loss aims to provide a safe space for people to talk about their loss and receive the support they need. With your help, I can reach my target amount of £150 and make a real difference in the lives of those who are struggling.
Every penny really does count no matter how big or small!

ABOUT THE CHARITY
Talking about Loss is a charity group who aims to help people who are affected by bereavement or loss, whether that is a family member, friend, job or self-confidence.
TAL was set up by East Yorkshire woman, Jacqueline Gunn, who felt she needed somewhere to turn to when her father died, just to have a chat with like-minded people. As a result, Jacqueline set up pop-up wellbeing cafes in East and North Yorkshire and now is planning to launch the TAL Community Hub in the centre of Market Weighton. This consists of two buildings, an information centre with rooms for hire, and a Wellness Barn, which will offer a multi-purpose space for activities and workshops. A team of specialists will also be available to help people with health and wellbeing issues. As preparations to refurbish the buildings are underway, the work is being funded by a legacy but the Hub needs to be sustainable and, as we are starting from scratch, everything needs to be bought.
