Hi all,
I’m not sure if this is allowed but thought I would give it a whirl... please delete if I am breaking any forum rules.
I’m not sure if you know that my 15 year old daughter died suddenly at home in 2019.
As we approach the two year anniversary of losing Abby, two of her friends have decided to walk a marathon on March 20th to raise money for charity. The charity is 2 Wish Upon a Star based in South Wales. They support families who have lost a child to a sudden or traumatic death. They provided counselling for our younger daughter and also provide memory boxes for families etc
We are hoping to join the girls for a mile or two if Covid restrictions allow....

Just a little update to let you know that the girls completed the marathon walk in ten hours and raised over £3k.
They are suffering with their legs and feet today!!!!
Thanks so much for your donations 💜
This money will make such a difference 💜
