Story

Half Marathon....yes it is on my bucket list! 

What better way to encourage me to run the furthest I have ever run, than to run for a charity.

Having engaged a Personal Trainer over the last four months, I am the fittest I have ever been and in a great position to run the Half Marathon (previously the furthest I had run was a 10K 3 years ago!).

If you feel you can donate any amount to support Harvey Hext - A Siblings Wish, I would be so grateful. Please read Sarah's story below.

Thanks

Sarah Hext's story..........

A charity set up in memory of my son Harvey to provide children with a unique, bespoke personalised memory box to help preserve memories of a lost sibling. When you lose a child there is very little support for the bereaved sibling. The Memory boxes are a very simple, but effective way of helping a sibling remember their brother or sister and preserve their memories and special keepsakes. We support families that are referred to us through children's hospices, charities and palliative care teams. We all recognise there is a gap in care for siblings during this difficult time. A Sibling's Wish supply high quality, wooden, bespoke A4 personalised memory boxes and memory bears to each bereaved sibling in the family. Each Memory box, bear and delivery costs the charity £200. We feel that every child should be able to be access our services. One day they will!
