Story

I will be attempting to run the London marathon in order to raise money for the amazing charity that is Grief Encounter. This incredible charity helps bereaved families who need the strength and guidance to carry on with their lives. 

When the unimaginable happens and a child or young person experiences the death of a parent or sibling, their world can seem a very dark place. Life as they knew it changes instantly. ‘Out of Darkness’ captures the essence of moving from the darkness of grief, into a lighter, more accepting, happier place – into a ‘new normal’. We know that grief still exists but individuals can learn to live again with the help of the grief encounter charity guiding them along the way. 

Please, please donate and help me raise as much money as possible. Every little bit helps this wonderful charity.
