Story

When Ange & Tash moved to Silverdale with their three beautiful dogs Claud, Scout and Tato, I immediately seemed to get on well with them not initially knowing the sadness and loss they'd experienced. Ange and Tash always greeted me with a big happy smile and always good for a chat. I would have never of guessed what they'd been through and that's a credit to how strong they are.

 Ange told me her story when I received one of her hundred letters written to people she cared for - I found this very touching so in return I'm going to challenge myself to run 100 miles in a week starting on Thursday 28th July. The most I've ever run in a week is 45 so this is certainly a challenge for me. 

I will be running predominantly around the stunning trails of Silverdale and the surrounding areas but I may also branch out into the Lake District and do some fell running which is where I'm happiest when running, although I am mindful of not tiring myself out too early so this may be towards the end of my challenge rather than the start.

Any donations would mean the world to me and of course benefit this amazing charity.

About the charity

BAGS for Strife

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1194111
Absolutely nothing prepares you for loss by suicide. For all of us who set up the charity, it’s so important to do something in honour & in memory of those we lost, and we can only hope through our own experience, we can offer some support through the darkest of days. We reached out to friends and family who all have experienced loss in this way and asked them to describe their most prominent emotions in the following months. The common feelings were Blame, Anger, Guilt and Sadness. Why? We were struck by the lack of accessible support for families and friends in the aftermath of loss by suicide and having reached out to others who have been through similar circumstances, we realised that our experience was not unique. Whilst there are a range of services “out there”, the issue appears to be a lack of knowledge/accessibility/geographical variation/timeliness of these. In response, we have subsequently established BAGS for Strife – a charity that is steered and led by a group of people with their own lived experience of suicide and its aftermath. What? We know that everyone’s experience of grief and loss is unique. Some people may want help in the first few days to navigate their way through the practical elements that must be faced, others may want to reach out for emotional support, and some may stumble and fall weeks or months or years after their tragedy. BAGs will provide practical and emotional support both for the short and long term.
