Sponsored Bath Beat Walk / Hike for my boy - 17 miles!
Posted: Thu Mar 29, 2012 4:07 pm
Hi everyone!
Thought I'd post in here as you gave us great support last year.
On Saturday 14th April 2012, a group of 10 of us will be walking The Bath Beat - a 17 mile circular route cross country.
We want to do this as a tribute and in memory of my son Caleb, who as most of you know we lost at birth a year and a half ago. But we are also completing the challenge to raise money for the SANDS charity. We completed the lesser walk of 12.5 miles last year and have set our goals higher at 17 miles! You can see the delights of our day last year at this site: http://www.calebscandles.co.uk/bathbeat.html
Give it a day or two and the link to Claire's candle making site will be uploaded in beta, I know some of you were keen before Xmas - well she has made hundreds since!
The SANDS charity is very dear to our hearts and helped us in our time of need. They support anyone affected by the death of a baby and also promote research to reduce the loss of babies lives. Unbelievably, 17 babies are stillborn or die shortly after birth every day in the UK! This shocking figure, the loss of 6,500 babies every year, is something the public is not generally aware of. Most people think stillbirths don’t happen in the 21st century. Yet stillbirth in the UK is 10 times more common than cot death.
I hope you can spare some money to sponsor us to complete this walk, we appreciate times are tough but a gesture however small is greatly appreciated.
You can give an online donation at: http://www.justgiving.com/caleb-wyatt
The amount raised last year of just over £2k has been left on this page, this year’s donations will be added to the overall total – please give what you can.
Many thanks for your support in advance.
Kind regards,
Rob
