Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have been lucky enough to get a ballot place in next years London marathon, which takes place on the 24th April 2016. This has allowed me to choose a charity that means something to me personally. I have chosen to run and raise money for the Children's Bereavement Centre, which is based in Newark.
As some of you are aware, my mum died suddenly when I was 16. This has effected me massively. I can now look back and count myself lucky knowing I had those years and have many amazing memories of my Mum.
To think that there are children out there who are going through something similar, whether it be a death in the family or a separation within the family, is truly heartbreaking.

This is where I'd like to help, I know the training and the run itself are going to be hard work and painful, but that pain is nothing compared to a lifetime of grieving that these children potentially will have to deal with.

The staff at the Children's Bereavement Centre are fantastic and help the children at such difficult times in their lives. Working together we can all help make a difference. If I could raise enough to help just 1 child through a life changing time it will all be worth while.

Please dig deep as every donation, big or small, could make a massive difference to a young persons life.

Thanks
Mark
