I am celebrating my special birthday by raising funds for a local charity Stepping Stones who support survivors of sexual abuse in childhood. I became a Trustee of Stepping Stones last year, and have seen first hand the amazing work that they do. With recent media attention, they have seen a significant increase in calls for help, and so every penny they can raise is so important.
As I get closer to my half century landmark I have spent much time thinking back over my life, and how truly blessed I have been to have been surrounded by love and support. I can’t imagine how terrible it has been for the survivors of childhood sexual abuse, often perpetrated by the people who the child should trust the most. Your support, no matter how small, really will make a difference, thank you.
