Story

This year is a special year - this year is the 10 year anniversary of our son being born - and sadly growing his Angel wings. And for his 10 year anniversary - we want as many of you involved as possible. So we have set up a team page for Isaac - its listed above this blurb - if you would consider doing any fundraising this year to help us reach our 10 year target of over £50,000 we would really appreciate it, so by clicking on the above you can then set up your own fundraising page to support us for the Evelina Childrens Hospital.

The weekend of the 23rd to 24th July we are celebrating Isaac's life - on the 27th he would have turned ten years old so this weekend we have a family picnic and sports day on the 24th in North London (please get in touch for details). We are also holding a worldwide virtual treasure hunt "Hunting for Isaac"- to enter this all that you need to do is donate a minimum of £10 and once the treasure hunt is ready we will email you a unique team log on code and the necessary app to download and over the weekend when you feel you have 90 minutes available you can start the treasure hunt and hunt for 50 items that will come up on the app for you to find and take photographs of!

Moving on to later in the year - you will also see lots of Strava runs popping up on here - on the 2nd October I will be taking part in the London Marathon in memory of Isaac - for that I need to raise £2,500 for charity so hopefully you can all help me to get the necessary money raised! In addition, on the 9th October, nursing my blisters from the Marathon I will also be taking part in the Royal Parks Half Marathon. Because Im likely to be struggling after the marathon I suspect this will be much more of a run walk event - and as such Im going to do it dressed in the Big Tiger outfit that my brother has used in the past - hopefully that will get some publicity and lots of interaction as I go round the course!

Finally - I just wanted to thank you all for visiting this page and supporting us over the last 10 years. Our world turned completely upside down 10 years ago - and over the years since I hope we have made a legacy in Isaac's name. We have had lots of friends, family and people we had never met before Isaac came along supporting us and helping us along the way - and the massive total showing in the top corner would not be there without all of the support that you have all given us as well as the generosity that you have shown us all over the years so we could not thank you more. Its a very tough journey that a family goes through when a child grows their wings far too early, and the support and help we have received - its very special.

Thank you
