Our personal message:

Background:

Alex was born 19th June 2007.  Amanda and Alan were delighted that their family was now complete, with a little brother to join Dan.  No parents could have been more thrilled.  They spoiled him with love; baby Alex felt the sand on a day trip to Looe, and he enjoyed Paignton!

Attentive staff at Derriford Hospital confirmed that something was seriously wrong early in January 2008.  Alex was diagnosed with Type 1 Spinal Muscular Atrophy.  He died, quietly, on 25th January.

The Four Points Challenge – the Rawhide Ride!

I aim to ride my motorbike to the four corners of mainland Britain, starting from Plymouth, Devon on Thursday, 19th June, the day when Alex would have been one year old.  I will finish back in Plymouth on Saturday, 28th June.  There will be media coverage of the event ... and you can find much more info on my Blog; find it at:  http://thefourpointschallenge.blogspot.com/
