Story

June 4th 2020 marks what would have been my little sisters 23rd Birthday. It was October 13th 2016 that Miranda took her own life.

Mirandas Birthday will always be a difficult date for everyone, and with the world currently like it is, young peoples mental health is going to be more important than ever and with all those races being cancelled Papyrus are going to need our help more than ever.

I have decided to run 23km on Miranda’s Birthday this year. At the moment I’m only distancing about 5k a run so with about 6 weeks to go it is indeed a challenge being further than my usual half marathon.

Please donate for Miranda, donate for her birthday, and donate for any young person who might be struggling at the moment stuck at home.

As ever it is an acknowledgement to my sister and everything that this life was meant to be for her, and I will always wish with each step that she was still here.

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 charities.
