I've been given the incredible challenge of running the London Marathon with just 6 weeks to prepare and having never run more than a half marathon before! This incredible challenge is more than a race; it's a heartfelt effort to support Grief Encounter, a charity that means a lot to methat provides vital support to bereaved children and their families.

In life's toughest moments, Grief Encounter steps in to help those navigating the deep waters of loss, ensuring no one has to navigate these emotions alone. I'm inspired by their work and determined to make every step of this marathon count in honor of those experiencing profound loss.

Your support can make a real difference. Every donation, no matter the size, goes directly to supporting Grief Encounter's essential services.

£10 will fund a specialist bereavement storybook for a child, using stories to help younger children understand feelings of grief.

£20 will fund a Good Grief workbook for a bereaved child or young person, giving them a structured way to understand and process their grief
