Story

In November last year my sister in law Caroline and her partner Andrew’s daughter Ryleigh died suddenly and unexpectedly. Her loss has been devastating for her parents and everyone that knew her. She was a smily, happy little girl who brought so much much joy and magic where ever she went. 

I am running for the compassionate friends because they have been a real support to ryleighs amazing parents through the toughest time of their lives. The charity have put them in touch with other bereaved parents and have organised a retreat they will go on to meet each other in person.They have also helped them navigate their inquest and provide support on the phone at any time. Andrew said that knowing they are there has been a massive help.....

.....And anything that’s a massive help for these two parents who have been through so much is worth running for!  Anything you can give to help this charity continue to provide this support would be amazing.
