My story

Please join us for Joe's walk and supper on Sunday June 17, 2012, for a lovely stroll through the Chilterns followed a family meal in memory of our beautiful son, Joe.

This event is being held again at St Katherine's Retreat House, Parmoor, Frieth, Bucks RG9 6NN. Meet for walk at 2.30pm. Drinks in garden at 4.30pm. Supper served at 5.30pm. Please bring your own wine.

You don't have to have known Joe to come. Just enjoy Father's day with friends and family and support a great cause at the same time.

Dogs welcome on the walk but need to be tied up in garden or put in car for the meal.

Please let me know how many of you are coming by emailing me at shughes@webmd.net and please make a donation on this page.

All funds raised this year will go to The Compassionate Friends (TCF), a wonderful organisation that supports parents who are going through the ordeal of having lost a child. All bereaved parents themselves, members of TCF offer sympathy, friendship, advice and hope to mothers and fathers who are facing the daunting task of trying to live on without their darling son or daughter. They do a great job with very limited resources. I have found them a real lifeline in this incredibly difficult journey.

Joe was a fantastic boy. He was the sensible one in the Cronin household, and while he was quiet, gentle, clever and sensitive, he was also funny and loving, and a joy to be around. Our oldest son, he was adored by his mum and dad and his two younger brothers. We are lost without him.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
