Cody’s music raises funds for TCF A huge thank you to the family of Cody Atzori for donating the funds raised by Cody’s posthumously published album to The Compassionate Friends. Cody died suddenly aged 17 and this beautiful album showcasing his wonderful musical talent is still available to purchase at the link codyatzori.bandcamp.com/album/whispicity Thank you to mum, Liz, and all the Atzori family. We so appreciate your support. TCF 2.5 Challenge The 2.5 Challenge is back for 2023! On May 20th and 21st join us in creating your own challenge. We want to celebrate our incredible 250 volunteers with a fundraiser based on the numbers 2 and 5. So whether you want to dance for 25 hours, knit 250 socks or stay silent for 2.5 hours you can find a challenge to suit you. You can do the challenge alone, with a friend, with family, with your TCF group, with your fitness class or why not get your colleagues involved! "I am pleased to support TCF's 2.5 Challenge. I lost my son, Toby, in 2018, and know that each of us, as bereaved parents, grieves in his and her own way. The peer support that The Compassionate Friends provides can be a lifeline to many. So, I urge you to take part, raise funds in honour of their 250 volunteers who are all bereaved parents themselves, and have fun at the same time." - Graham Seed, Patron 25 CHALLENGE TCF 
