On the 12th April 2021, when I was 18, I suddenly lost my amazing dad. It completely turned mine and my families lives upside down.

I am running the Manchester half marathon in memory of my dad, raising money for It's Time Charity. It's Time is dedicated to supporting young people who have experienced parental loss. A few months ago, I started volunteering as an ambassador and peer support volunteer, facilitating support groups and networks for young people who have lost one or both parents. After experiencing early parental loss, I feel passionate about helping others navigate through their own journeys of grief and the unique set of challenges that come with it.

Every donation goes towards helping young people navigate their grief -

£10 could provide online grief resources.

£30 could support peer-led community services.

£50 could fund free group therapy sessions.

Any donations and shares are greatly appreciated :)
