In lieu of flowers, we invite anyone wishing to pay their respects to Valerie to make a donation here to Rise. Val was an amazing athlete who fundraised for Rise through multiple running events and took part in their 8K Undercliff Run. They are a Sussex based charity supporting people affected by domestic abuse and violence.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you for your kind donation.
