Lisa and Mike’s fundraiser for SLOW - Surviving the Loss of Your World

Lisa Spinks is raising money for SLOW - Surviving the Loss of Your World
In memory of Rory Spinks

Oysho Royal Parks Half Marathon 2026 · 11 October 2026 ·

SLOW is an award winning charity run by bereaved parents and siblings providing support for bereaved families. Our members say our support groups are a lifeline, giving them the chance to connect and share their experiences with other bereaved families.

Story

Mike and I are getting our running shoes back on to hopefully raise some more money for SLOW (Surviving the loss of your World). This is a charity we continue to support for all the help they have provided for our family over the years but of course to ensure they can continue to do this for others.

There really is not as much help out there as you think for bereaved families in particular for young siblings and teenagers so Nic and her team’s work is so vital. Most importantly they connect bereaved families so we can share our experience and not feel so alone.

We’re not getting any younger so our times might be slower and the recovery longer but whatever happens we will get out there and give it our all.

We are both very conscious that our friends, family, colleagues and wider community have supported us many times since Rory died so we are hugely appreciative of every penny - as each one counts!

Thank you,

Lisa and Mike xxx
