Every Mile Has a Reason 🧡 Running for Child Bereavement UK

This year marks the third time our team has laced up for this run. Quick, slow, and everywhere in between — however far and however fast we each go, we're all running for the same reason. We always have been.

We're a team of runners taking on this challenge together — and we're doing it to raise money for Child Bereavement UK, a charity that helps children and young people find their way through one of the hardest things a child can face: losing someone they love.

Why this run matters to us

Not long ago, we lost a friend and colleague far too soon — Al Taylor. He was kind, full of life, the kind of person people gravitated towards — and he left behind a young daughter.

His death shook all of us. But for those of us who are parents, or who simply love the children in our lives, it also left behind a question none of us could shake: if the unthinkable happened to us, who would be there for our kids?

Al was a keen runner himself, and running felt like the right way to remember him. This is now our third year taking on this challenge in his name — it's become part of his legacy, and a way of keeping him with us on every run.

Who we're running for

Child Bereavement UK supports grieving children and young people up to the age of 25, offering free, confidential help by phone, video call, or webchat — wherever they are in the UK. Through one-to-one and group support, they help kids and families slowly rebuild after a loss no child should have to face alone.

How you can help

We're running for our friend. We're running for his daughter. And we're running for every child out there quietly trying to understand a loss too big for their years.

Whatever you're able to give, you'll be helping make sure a charity like this is there for a child who needs it. And honestly, you'll be helping us get through the miles too.

Thank you for being part of this with us. 🧡
