Case study – Harriet

“After losing my mum to alcoholism in December 2022, I decided I wanted to run the London marathon for a charity in dedication to her. I came across the The Forward Trust through their Action on Addiction campaign. I chose this charity because I really do feel that if things were different, it could have been a charity that would have supported my mum and brought us a better future. I think their emphasis on recovery and supporting people who are in to recovery to get back into everyday life is really important and is something that I saw with my own eyes that was really difficult to navigate as a recovering alcoholic. I think their work is amazing and I hope to continue raising lots of money for them.”
