Hi, I’m Holly.

Ten years ago, I lost my dad, Derek (he’s not missing, just dead).

Since then, I myself and my family have always wanted to get him a headstone, nothing elaborate, just something with his name on it. The thing no one tells you is how expensive even a simple headstone can be, and financially it’s not something that has been doable.

So I’ve decided to do something a little different.

Doing It for Derek is my way of turning grief into something more positive (good habits). Throughout the year, I’ll be taking on monthly challenges from charities (starting with walking 100km in Feb for Great Ormond Street Hospital) to raise money both to pay for my dad’s headstone and to support the challenges themselves.

If you’re able to donate, share, or support in any way possible, thank you. Truly.

If I’m going to do it, I’m doing it for Derek

Holly
