As many of you know, I broke my kneecap last November. It's been a bit of a roller coaster but I'm now moving again, albeit slowly. I'm determined to get back to walking long distances and I'd like you to help me, and SeeSaw, by sponsoring me to take part in the Oxford canal walk in June. I'm only doing 4 miles, but I've got to start somewhere!

I am one of the founders of SeeSaw. Back in the 1980s Ann Couldrick and I set up the Sobell House Bereavement Service. This focused on adults and our research showed us that bereaved children really needed a specialist service. Eventually, after much work, SeeSaw was born.

SeeSaw provides support for children, young people and their families across Oxfordshire when someone close to them is seriously ill, or has died. I am immensely proud of SeeSaw. This year marks a significant milestone - it's our 25th anniversary. Over the past quarter century we have supported over 8000 children and have also provided support and advice to parents, schools and all those who work with young people. Currently we employ 15 people backed up by a team of volunteer support workers (recently we gained the King's Award for Voluntary Service). It's been wonderful to be part of SeeSaw's journey and to see how valued it has become. I continue to be involved as a Trustee and as chair of the Clinical Support Group. Please help me to contribute to our 25th anniversary fund raising target - and boost my road to recovery too! I'd be most grateful.
