As someone who has experienced grief at an early age, being overwhelmed by unfamiliar feelings and emotion led to a struggling journey. I felt restricted in choice and variety in dealing with grief.

Understanding that grief is dealt in a unique manner, I have chosen to support Grief Encounter for my half marathon to shine more light on the amazing variety of grief-tackling opportunities that are available. Grief Encounter offers free professional counselling, helplines, art and drama therapies, school support and so much more to help young people deal with the emotions that they are experiencing.

I wish I discovered a charity like Grief Encounter when I was younger, and so, I am dedicated to help support young people to have these opportunities available to them. No matter how you deal with grief, you are not alone, and hopefully you help me to support this wonderful charity to encourage this message.

Thank you everyone for your support, and more importantly, thank you to everyone for discovering more about Grief Encounter and the work they do. Every donation is special and will go a long way.
