This coming September, I'm embarking on a personal challenge that means a great deal to me: cycling from London all the way to Brighton. I'm doing this to raise money for At a Loss, a fantastic charity that made an undeniable difference in my life during a very difficult time.

You see, on August 20th 2023, my eldest sister, Avylynn, passed away. Despite her long battle with mental health and addiction, her death profoundly affected me in ways I hadn't anticipated. It was a loss that truly knocked me sideways.

In the midst of that unexpected grief, I found solace and guidance through "The Bereavement Journey" course, which At a Loss so brilliantly facilitates. That course was a steady hand, helping me to navigate emotions and challenges I simply wasn't prepared for. It genuinely helped me start to make sense of a world without Avy.

My ride to Brighton is my way of saying thank you. It's about ensuring that other people, when faced with overwhelming grief, can access the same vital support that I did. At a Loss provides a crucial service, helping individuals to process, connect, and ultimately, find a path forward.

If you feel moved to contribute, any donation, no matter how small, will directly support their incredible work. Thank you for reading my story and for considering a donation. Your support will help turn my pedals and make a real impact for others in need.
