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/ Commercial Sponsorship: Several businesses have come forward to support my Challenge.
