PUSHING THROUGH THE PAIN

PUSHING THROUGH THE PAIN Together, we can and will push through the pain. On the 20th of June, brave guys and gals all over the UK will be walking 18km in heels and full glam to celebrate what would have been, our dear friend, Katya’s, 18th bday. Together, we will push through the pain of losing her one year ago by celebrating the 17 extraordinary years that our beloved friend « Katsu » spread her passion, her inclusivity, her strength, and her infectious laughter all over the world, to people of every age, race, class, and sexuality. Katya was accepting of every human being, had boundless love and generosity for her friends, and touched countless hearts with her music, her beauty and her unforgettable giggle. We chose this challenge, because Katya would do anything for a friend, and she knew no fear. She was courageous in every way. She was never afraid to be herself. She was never afraid of defending others and never afraid of being honest, even when the truth hurt. We poignantly and passionately believe that the truth is that there still needs to be a greater understanding and greater awareness of the fragility of even those we believe to be the strongest, the bravest and the happiest. Please, in honour of our friend, put « one foot in front of the other » and help us by sharing this link and donating whatever you can, big or small, to help us reach our goal and make our girl giggle in her place somewhere over the rainbow. *** All money raised goes to the Charlie Waller Memorial trust in support of mental health and suicide prevention. Note: All govt parameters for social distancing will be strictly followed during any/all memorial walks for Katya.
