After a long while out of the running game I have decided to take on the London Marathon in aid of Daisy's Dream.

Twelve years ago my sister and I lost our dad to cancer. Bereavement can be difficult to work through at a young age, and Daisy's Dream does essential work in providing support networks for children and families experiencing loss.

Each year Daisy's Dream support around 500 children and young people through their bereavement. Whether they are facing the death of someone they love or have already experienced their loss, professionally qualified Therapeutic Practitioners are on hand to offer families the support and guidance they need.

The charity is not government funded so donations go a long way to helping their great work. Anything you can spare in support would be greatly appreciated!
