In its centenary year, the University of Reading has chosen Daisy's Dream as its Charity of the Year.

University colleagues are taking on the challenge of the half marathon this year to raise money to support bereaved children and families in Berkshire.

Each year Daisy's Dream support around 500 children and young people through their bereavement. Whether they are facing the death of someone they love or have already experienced their loss, professionally qualified Therapeutic Practitioners are on hand to offer families the support and guidance they need.

All of their work is provided to families completely free of charge, but in order to do so, Daisy's Dream need to raise over £500,000 a year to cover their costs. Please give what you can to help them continue their vital work.
