So, why are we doing this...?
Not only are we all doing this to get fit, to compete in a challenge, but we are also doing this to raise money for two wonderful charities that have provided support to the family ever since Sophie tragically and unexpectedly passed away on 1st March 2013.
Our beautiful precious angel had gone. Although they couldn't save her, the staff and team at Birmingham Children's Hospital did all they could, trying every avenue possible to save her...but sadly, their efforts were not rewarded. Their hard work, calmness and attitude were second to none. However, when she'd gone, we sat in A&E at the Birmingham Children’s Hospital in disbelief at the devastating contemplation that our lives were no longer complete. How could we cope with the pain that was about to prevail in telling her 4 year old brother that she was no longer with us...?
The world became a blur and our lives were slowly crumbling apart, how was all this going to get better? This was where the comfort and care through counselling, through talking and through having the support assisted us all. Through the continuous support of Edwards Trust we found a light, all be it faint, on a long and testing road.
From this, Edwards Trust have provided great care, counselling and support...mainly through the following:
So please, please do support us...make this effort worthwhile, for 2 wonderful and very worthwhile organisations.
Thank you xxx

From this, Edwards Trust have provided great care, counselling and support...mainly through the following:
- A place to visit and express your thoughts in a protective and reassuring environment; feelings you couldn’t tell others for fear of what people may think.
- A place Sophie’s brother could untangle his worries through play.
- A place to learn coping strategies and relaxation techniques and fall asleep through the powers of reflexology!
So please, please do support us...make this effort worthwhile, for 2 wonderful and very worthwhile organisations.
