Throughout September, I am joining Grief Encounter's Step-tember Challenge, walking 300,000 steps in one month to raise funds for bereaved children, young people and their families across the UK. You can learn more about my challenge here: https://www.griefencounter.org.uk/event/steptember-challenge/

I am also running the London Marathon on 3 October.

100% of the funds raised will go towards supporting bereaved children and young people who have experienced the death of someone close, and families and individuals impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Since March last year, there have been over 100,000 deaths due to Coronavirus. Grief Encounter offer professional support services online, including group workshops, individual e-counselling and memory workshops for all of those who need them. They can't do that without your support. Just £26 (£1 a mile for the London Marathon) could fund a helpline session for someone impacted by grief, offering them immediate help and advice following a bereavement. Thank you for your support.
