5K a day in May - Be More Like Olivia

Team captain: Harry Foster

About

Back in October 2023, our beautiful baby girl, Olivia, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, aged 15 months. We will be forever grateful for the time we had with Olivia as she was such a bundle of fun; we are thankful that she only ever knew fun, love and happiness in her life. We try to live our lives by the phrase "Be More Like Olivia" which is what we decided minutes after she died. It means trying to find positives in life, enjoying the time you are given and supporting everyone.

2wish have been a lifeline to us. When Olivia died, we had no support and felt completely alone in our darkest times. When 2wish expanded to England we felt as though someone was offering us a hand to pull us up; we are extremely grateful for the kind, caring and professional support we have received ever since. Losing a child of any age is devastating and life is no longer what it was. Therefore, we have made it our mission to spread awareness of 2wish, so that other bereaved parents can receive the help that 2wish provides.

During May, I will be completing a 5 Kilometre run every day, a total of 155 Kilometres across 31 days. Olivia was always toddling around everywhere with lots and lots of energy so this will make her proud as I will still be running around everywhere!
