Support Our 26.2-Mile Charity Walk for Gardiner Hill – In Loving Memory of Emma Grantham

Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

We are a group of six best friends—Kylie, Courtney, Lowys, Jackie, Kerry, Fiona, and myself—who are taking on an incredible challenge to support a cause deeply personal to me mental health awareness and support.

On 12th of may 2025 we will walk an epic 26.2 miles to honour the memory of my beautiful sister, Emma Grantham, whom we tragically lost on 24th October 2024.

Emma was an amazing person, full of light and kindness, but like so many others, she faced mental health challenges that ultimately became overwhelming. Her loss has left a void in our lives, but it has also inspired us to do something positive in her memory. We want to raise awareness, break the stigma, and support others who may be struggling, so no one feels they have to suffer in silence.

Why Mental Health Matters

Mental health affects us all, whether through personal experience or someone we love. In the UK, one in four people will face mental health challenges, yet the stigma often prevents people from seeking help. By walking together in Emma’s memory, we hope to raise awareness and contribute to vital resources that provide care, support, and hope to those in need.

Our Goal

We’ve set an initial fundraising target of £1,000, but we’re determined to exceed this goal and make a meaningful difference. Your donations can help in the following ways:

£10 could fund a helpline call to provide immediate support to someone in crisis.

£50 could provide a therapy session to help someone on their mental health journey.

£100 could sponsor a mental health workshop to educate and empower communities.

The Challenge

Walking 26.2 miles is a significant challenge, and we are dedicating every step to Emma and everyone affected by mental health struggles. Together, we will push through the pain and fatigue to honour her memory and raise funds for this critical cause.

How You Can Help

1. Donate: Every contribution, no matter how small, will help us reach our target and make a real impact.

2. Share: Please share our GoFundMe page with your networks to spread the word.

3. Support: Cheer us on, send words of encouragement, or even walk part of the way with us!

Follow Our Journey

We’ll share updates on our training, the walk itself, and the incredible support we receive along the way. Your encouragement means the world to us as we take on this challenge.

Emma’s memory will guide us every step of the way. By supporting this walk, you’re not just honouring her legacy but helping to create a world where mental health support is accessible, and no one has to face their struggles alone.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity, love, and support. Together, we can make a difference and ensure Emma’s light continues to shine.

With love and gratitude,

Tommy
