Dear friends and supporters,

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

When we started this petition, we never imagined the response it would receive. Every signature, comment, message, and act of support has meant more to us than we can adequately express. Reading your words, many of which share similar experiences, heartbreaks, and frustrations, has reminded us that this issue is far bigger than just our own story.

Thanks to you, the petition continues to grow and we are now well on our way to reaching 25,000 signatures. Your voices are helping ensure this issue cannot be ignored.

Our PALS case is still ongoing and currently under review, and while there is no final outcome yet, we remain hopeful. What we do know is that this conversation is now happening publicly, nationally, and with increasing urgency. We will keep you updated every step of the way.

In recent days, our story has been shared across a number of media outlets, including the Ipswich Star, Daily Mail, The Mirror, and the ITV Anglia both online and through television broadcast. We have spoken out not because it is easy, it’s not, but because your support has shown us how important it is to keep going. This is for not only ourselves, but for others who may face the same barriers in the future.

Thank you again for standing with us, for believing in fairness, and for helping turn something deeply painful into a movement for change.

With gratitude,  
Bethany & Ben
