As many of you will know, Rosie was hit by a car in March as we were crossing a road near our home, and she broke 2 toes. She is lucky to be alive. She was in a splint for several weeks and had to be completely rested. She’s now having physiotherapy (and hydro which she loves) and is ready to work towards a 5k charity walk which takes place at sunrise in the Surrey Hills where we live. We wouldn’t have the cheek to ask you to sponsor us to walk 5k, but please sponsor Rosie! She has not been out on a walk for 3 months and so this will be a challenge for her.

On a slightly more serious note this is a charity that frankly we could not have survived without. They made Anna’s last day special for us and it is their ongoing support that enables us to function. The death of a child is quite honestly the most horrific life event that most people thankfully are spared from. For those of us that are part of the awful minority we rely on the support of amazing charities like this. Please give generously. Love Rosie, Laura, Galin and Ben xxx
