In memory of Michael Dolphin
Be More Ben's team of runners taking part in the Great Bristol 10k and Half Marathon races on 14th May 2023. Raising money to support families after the death of a child.

Story

I am running the Bristol Half Marathon to raise funds for the Be More Ben charity who have been a great support to my family.

My eldest son Michael aged twelve sadly took his own life in July 2021.  We soon found that there is little meaningful long term available support for bereaved families.

Thanks to Be More Ben we have been able to benefit from on going Bereavement counselling.  It's been a huge help to our family to be able to talk to someone who understands what we are going through.

Please donate whatever you can for a great charity so they can continue to help bereaved families in their darkest hour.

Our son Ben was diagnosed with DIPG, a very rare and aggressive brain tumour, aged 7. Previously fit and well, on diagnosis, we were told his tumour was inoperable and incurable and that we had at best a year left with our son. Despite taking part in a clinical trial and having intensive treatment, Ben passed away 6 months later. Following his death, we found little in the way of regular, ongoing support that was informal and for the whole family. To lose a child and feel that there is no help available to you is frightening and leaves you feeling isolated and vulnerable. We set up The Benjamin Pritchard Foundation – Be More Ben to enhance bereavement support and services for parents, families and siblings who have lost a child under the age of 18.
