On the 14th of February, me and my mates will honour the life of George Burke who would, if he had lived, been in our year group at school. This date would have been George’s 15th birthday so, in his memory, we are taking on the challenge of a 15-mile duathlon, consisting of 7.5 miles cycling and 7.5 miles running.

Following George’s death, and the subsequent loss 5 days later of his Dad, Paul; his mum, Rhian, established the charity 2wish to ensure support was available to those in her situation. As a young ambassador, I have been a supporter of 2wish since I was small.

2wish provides immediate bereavement support to anyone affected by the sudden and traumatic loss of a child or young adult aged 25 years and under. The effects are devastating, and it is important that support is available if and when required. It is important families know that they are not alone and that the feelings they are experiencing are often normal.

Would you like to help us hit our £250 by donating to this page. Donating will help 2 wish provide vital support to those who need it
