63.88 Miles

Do you want to join me in making a difference? We are  raising money in aid of Grief Encounter and every donation will help.We will be covering 63.88 miles (102.8k) on foot, along the Thames path and finishing in London. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
More information about Grief Encounter: Grief Encounter provides professional support to bereaved children and young people in the UK following the death of a loved one.
Children often feel lost and isolated following a significant bereavement, they can believe everyone close to them will leave them or die. The emotions experienced by a grieving child can have life altering and long lasting negative impacts on a child's development. Children in this mind set need appropriate intervention to work through these feelings.

Sophie and Charlotte are childhood best friends. They would say they had an idyllic childhood in many ways, growing up in the New Forest/South Coast - having access to the sea, nature, and green spaces. We also had the privilege of having our parents and siblings present in our lives. They have never experienced the pain and trauma of extreme grief. 

By donating to our fundraiser, you will be helping  Encounter continue offering their fantastic services, which include, but are not limited too: 

One-to-one counselling 
Group workshops 
Music, art and drama therapy 
Residentials and family fun days
A national, free and confidential helpline called greiftalk, offering web chat service too 
Bespoke support for schools, universities and colleges 
A dedicated trauma team for support following a sudden or traumatic bereavement
