About Eden Dyson

Profile picture

In August 2025, my world changed forever when I lost my best friend, Amba.

To call her my best friend doesn't quite do her justice—she was family. We used to call each other our "lobsters" because we were each other's person. We were always together, usually up to no good, making memories, laughing until we cried, and supporting each other through every high and low.

Anyone who knew Amba will know just how special she was. She was kind, funny, beautiful, fiercely loyal, and one of the strongest people I have ever known. She had a way of making people feel seen, loved and supported, even when she was facing her own struggles.

Losing her has absolutely broken me. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about her, miss her, or wish I could pick up the phone and tell her something that's happened. Life looks very different without her in it, and I still find it incredibly hard to navigate a world where she's no longer here.

Before she passed, Amba discovered a love for running—something I always hated and constantly told her she was completely mad for! So, in what feels like the most fitting tribute, I have decided to take on a 10K run in her memory - although she'd probably be laughing at the fact I've willingly signed up.

Anyone who knows me knows I am by no means a runner, but I have started training (botched ankle and all!) to do this for Ambs.

Guernsey Mind provides support to people facing mental health challenges, offering help, guidance and hope when it is needed most. Through this run, I hope to honour Amba's memory while helping others who may be struggling.

If you are able to donate, no matter how big or small, I would be incredibly grateful.

More importantly, please remember that no matter what you're going through, there is always someone there to listen and someone who cares. Please reach out. Talk to someone. You never have to face things alone.

This run is for my lobster, Ambs. ❤️
