Story
On 9th February 2010 our lives changed forever when we lost our precious niece Grace one day before her first birthday to meningococcal septicemia. As a family we want to raise awareness and show our support to Meningitis UK, searching for a vaccine campaign, so on the 28th August we are all going to be taking part in a sponsered 5 mile walk/run in memory of Grace and all money raised will go to to the fund in her honour. After the walk we shall be releasing pink and white balloons in her garden in memory of our Perfect Princess in the clouds. Please help us by donating as little or as much as you can, every penny raised will go to the cause so hopefully one day they will find a vaccine to stop other families having to go through what we are. Thanks for visiting our page and showing your support, now get donating :-) Lisa & Craig & all the family Only two weeks to go before our walk so we thought we would update on our progress, thanks to all our friends and families for there support and at the last count we have more than doubled our target with our offline sponsers, hopefully on the day we would have tripled it, will update on the day, thanks again! Just an update to say that the walk (run in some cases) went really well. It was a memorable and emotional day and we raised an amazing £2100 plus whats on this fund page hence we are now all busy collecting all the sponsor money so we can send it all in. Thanks again to all our sponsors but a big thankyou goes out to all that came and made it a special day to honour our little princess Grace.Updates
