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/
