Story

You Raise Me Up supports families after the death of a child aged 16-25.The charity provides compassion, support and simply to be able to say “we totally understand” rather than “we cannot imagine what you are going through”.We have trained, experienced counsellors available to help families through these dark times. We also run monthly support groups, where you can meet other families going through similar emotions and start to feel less alone. Our support centre and community cafe in Polegate is comfortable welcoming space for all.

After four aborted attempts at trying to get to trek the Great Wall of China, I’ve had to make the shift to an alternative location. Therefore in October 2024 I will be trekking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.

In addition to this I will be undertaking the following:

March - 10K in Malta 🏃‍♀️🇲🇹 ✅

April - Half-Marathon in London 🏃‍♀️🇬🇧 ✅

April - 10.7K at Rathfinney 🏃‍♀️🇬🇧 ✅

May - 10K Run Gatwick 🏃‍♀️🇬🇧 ✈️✅

June - 10K Arctic Run 🏃‍♀️🇳🇴✅

June - 15,000ft Skydive 🪂🇬🇧✅

June - Firewalk 🔥🇬🇧✅

August - 10K Norway 🏃‍♀️🇳🇴✅

October - Trek Machu Picchu 🗻🇵🇪✅

I am a trustee of You Raise Me Up, who do amazing work in East Sussex.

Your support will be greatly appreciated. All donations will go straight to the charity as I will be covering the cost of the events myself.

Thank you
