Story
Our beautiful son Ben tragically died in his sleep 8 weeks ago, aged only 27.Ben was severely autistic, and we are raising awareness of this life long condition, and would like to raise money in his memory for the school he attended from the age of 3 until he was 19. The Robert Ogden school for autistic children in Thurnscoe, Rotherham, is an amazing place, that taught Ben the skills he needed for life.
Please help us by supporting the charity football match we have organised at Sheffield Hallam Sports Park at Brinsworth, on the 21st May at 11am. Ben loved Disney, so it will be a fun day, inspired by one of his favourite films, "Bedknobs and Broomsticks"!
Many thanks for reading Ben's story, and for your continuing support.

7 years agoThankyou to every single one of you who has taken Ben to your heart, and donated in his name. We miss him every second of every day. His presence is everywhere we are, and we are with him. Why such a pure and innocent soul had to leave in his sleep, when evil walks this earth makes it even harder to understand. Bless every one of you for your support. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
