Story
In January I'm taking part in my second ultra challenge, the London Winter Walk half marathon route, along with some of my amazing friends/teammates - Heather and Jess!
I'm walking this route in honour of my wonderful dad, Mark, who we lost in 2019, when I was 14 years old, to a suicide after he had dealt with chronic pain and mental health issues for many years. Those who knew him will remember just how much of a lovely dad and person he was, even through all the tough times!
I've struggled with processing my grief and emotions, and with finding the right support for me - I wish I'd found Winston's Wish sooner!
As a Youth Ambassador for Winston's Wish, I've witnessed first hand just how incredible they are. Their resources help tens of thousands of grieving children, young people, and parents/guardians - their support network is spectacular, and so I'm fundraising to contribute to more resources for the thousands more in need, they deserve as many donations as possible.
