Before we had the chance to grow up, we had already learnt what it felt like to lose both of our parents.

If only Winston’s Wish had been around in the 80s. Winston’s Wish gives children comfort and a safe space when they need it most, they are a national charity supporting children and young people across the UK who are bereaved, or are facing the death of someone important. No child should have to deal with grief alone.

Taking on 26.2 miles in the TCS London Marathon is pushing me well outside my comfort zone, but I’m doing it for a cause close to my heart, and in memory of my three brothers, whose strength will carry me through every mile!

Thank you for donating; gofundme sends all your donations directly to the charity.
