Story

When we were young children, our uncle died by suicide, leaving a void in our family that can never truly be filled. In his memory, we are participating in Sunflowers Suicide Support's Chase the Sun Challenge this year, but with a personal twist: we'll each be looking to complete 10k every single day during the challenge week, not just 10k in total.

Sunflowers provides crucial support to those bereaved by suicide, creating a safe space where people can find understanding and healing. This cause is especially close to our heart—our mother serves as a trustee for the charity, and our stepfather is the chairman.

Every step we take and every pound raised will help Sunflowers continue their vital work supporting families like ours who have experienced the devastating impact of suicide. Your donation, no matter how small, contributes to creating a world where those affected by suicide loss can find the support they need.

Thank you for supporting our challenge and this incredible charity.
