Story
What a morning! I met the other TCF runners and felt so truly humbled to be part of their worlds in some small way. I took 2 mins off my PB and hope I've helped spread the word about how we can all improve the lives of bereaved parents. Fabulous event and I would highly recommend it...
Thanks for visiting my page. I'm doing this in memory of Joe Cronin, a beautiful boy who was George's special friend. Any support you can give will be greatly appreciated. As well as raising money, I'd like to raise awareness of The Compassionate Friends. Please read on even if you don't want to donate or have other causes you support. Feel free to share my page. I'm humbled to have one of TCF's official places for this event. Please help me do them proud.
When my friend lost her son nearly 6 years ago, her world changed forever. TCF gave her the opportunity to share her grief with the only people who could understand what she was, and still is, going through - other bereaved parents. TCF offers a lifeline and friendship when the worst happens.
TCF campaigns for simple things (like encouraging us to talk openly about a child who has died) and bigger legislative issues (such as introducing paid leave for bereaved parents).
I will be training hard and hope to run a PB on 13th July. I'm aiming to run the race in under 1 hour but anything near 60 minutes will be faster than my last 10k time! I know your support will help get me round in a good time. And so will the memories of a very special boy. Joe, your infectious giggle will be ringing in my ears. Thanks for reading
