Change to starting point of walk-10miles not 13.

Della and Kelsey would like to thank you again for helping them reach their fundraising target and beyond . We just know Herefordshire headway will be able to do so much for those using their service with this amount . Sara would have loved this being raised in her memory for a place she loved.THANK YOU🥰🥰

We would also like to advise our supporters that for multiple reasons but mainly safety, that the walk will be started just outside of Hereford at the top of the callow just past the Kingsthorn turning tomorrow 21st August after our beautiful Saras church service.

It will still be 10miles but slightly shorter than planned and we wanted to be transparent with everyone. 

We will of course take photos along the route and share with you as we are able .

Much love and thanks to you all.xxx

Response from Herefordshire Headway

Today 16th August 2024 Della received a lovely message from headway Herefordshire expressing their gratitude , message below: 

Dear Della,

Your fundraising walk in memory of your beloved cousin Sara is a testament to your strength and compassion. Your dedication to supporting Herefordshire Headway, an organisation that provided services and support for Sara, will undoubtedly make a positive impact on the lives of those affected by brain injury. We commend you for your inspiring efforts and extend our deepest gratitude for your support.  We offer our sincere sympathy for your loss. Sara will be dearly missed.

(We'll add a link to your fundraiser on our website)

Accessories for the walk.

1723380948_inbound5986020796720070584.jpgKelsey and Della think Sara would approve of these accessories  to be worn on the day of the walk. Very apt to Saras personality and the era she grew up on.

I am raising money for a charitable cause that is very important to me, I sadly lost my cousin on 28th July 2024 aged just 49 years old.😭

She had survived a significant brain injury in 2016 and against all odds was walking talking and free of her tracheostomy and peg feed and living independently!!  After 8months in hospital and years of re-hab she was doing so well and had found happiness again.

sadly she suffered a sudden ascending aortic thrombus and despite 45 minutes of CPR lost this fight on 28th July.

Sara was like a sister to me, we lived together as children and spent many a happy holiday with our Grandparents.

Also our Gr1723326074_1000012571.jpgandparents used to help organise a local running race- the Hereford to Ross road race and my late  Grandad ran in it himself in his younger years. Sara and me used to go along and hold out drinks for runners along the route.

So I am going to walk this route in Saras memory, with my Daughter Kelsey aged just 17 and  who from the age of 9 was a wonderful support to Sara making her giggle throughout her re-hab.

I cannot begin to understand why Sara was snatched from us so suddenly,  but I know I can focus my emotional pain on a cause close to Saras heart - headway Hereford where she spent many a happy day.

 so please donate and help me reach my target in aid of HEREFORDSHIRE HEADWAY. Anything you can give will be appreciated. 

Thank you all.😘
