Myself, Joshua and Jaydan are taking on Alfie’s Squad’s ‘Race for a Reason’ to support children and young people who have lost a loved one to suicide. This charity has become a lifeline for us in supporting Joshua from losing his dad to suicide in 2017.

From 14th – 16th November, we will be racing from Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium to Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge Ground, but with a twist! We are kindly being sponsored by Cerberus Group to take part in the event

Along the way, we’ll face secret checkpoints and challenges. It’s going to be a fun weekend using public transport and our imagination (possibly a couple of favours!) to get us to the finish line.

Alfie’s Squad was created by Alfie, who lost his dad to suicide when he was just 8 years old. With no support available for him, he decided to build something that would help others in the same situation.

Launched in 2023, Alfie’s Squad is the only charity in the UK that provides face to face peer support for children and young people (aged 6-17), and their families who are bereaved by suicide. Every week, up to 50 young members take part in fun and engaging activities, giving them the chance to build confidence and friendships.

Your donation will help Alfie’s Squad continue to be there for these young members and reach even more families when they need it the most. Please only donate what you can and make sure you’re following @alfiessquad on Instagram, as you might be called on to help us reach the finish line!
