Exercising Demons is a new project I have been running to raise money for children who have lost a parent. It is an idea close to my heart that I have been working on since the turn of the year, and ultimately, I hope it will be an established charity supporting bereaved families through exercise.
As all of you will be aware, death has been a prominent feature in my life growing up. My father died when I was 10, my mother when my brother was 15 and my sister when my niece was 5. Death is something we all have to deal with - it just seems in my life, I have had the experience of seeing what losing a parent can do to a child. Grief is hard on everyone, but when I was a boy, exercise was a huge relief; connecting through team sports solidified a support network around me and gave me an outlet for emotions I couldn't understand at the time.
