Story
<p>We are raising funds to make a garden and play area at Danesfield School in memory of our beautiful son, Joe, who died very suddenly, aged 11, in August 2008.</p>
<p>Joe was clever, funny, kind, loving and very very special. We were so blessed to have him in our lives but we are devastated by his loss.</p>
<p>We are planning to have a family walk followed by supper on Bank Holiday Monday May 2, 2011, in memory of Joe. Please come along and join us in this event to remember him. And please donate to this cause, whether you can or can't come to the event itself.</p>
<p>We are planning a garden area with seating where childen at Danesfield School can have some outside lessons, eat their lunch, and learn about gardening. As Joe was a real monkey, we hope also to have some sort of climbing frame or play area. </p>
<p>Joe's walk will start at 2pm at St Katherine's Retreat House, Parmoor, Frieth, Bucks, RG9 6NN. The walk will take 2-3 hours, and we will return to St Katherine's for supper at around 5-6pm. Water and squash will be served but please bring a bottle of wine with you if you would like.</p>
<p>We only have room for 120 places to eat, so please email me on <a href="mailto:shughes@webmd.net">shughes@webmd.net</a> as soon as possible with details of who is coming and get donating fast. Anyone can come on the walk, but please still let me know.</p>
<p>We will also be holding a Raffle and Auction at the supper, so please bring some cash! We have some wonderful auction prizes, and we are starting the bidding on this page so you can bid for a prize even if you're not there on the day. </p>
