We will be walking 18km from Exeter quayside to The Boathouse at Dawlish Warren in memory of Amy Bethan just after her 18th birthday.
My daughter, Matty's sister, Amy lived just 2 days back in 2006 yet made a big impact on this world. The design of new maternity unit in Rd&E hospital was changed in 2007 to include a resus area in post natal that we fundraised the kit for, her dna is used for research and she has of course influenced my career as I've worked for Sands for 10 years as well as lots of volunteering and fundraising before that.
Sadly 13 babies die every day in the UK and we'd like to raise enough money to fund at least 18 memory boxes, £360 for those families as we still cherish Amy's memory box.
If you'd like to join us for all or any part of the walk (walking, scooting, riding etc) please let me know which bits and if you'd like your own sponsorship page please register at https://www.justgiving.com/team/18foramy or buy a tshirt, hoodie, dog bandana, Sands bunting etc at https://shop.sands.org.uk/en/products/clothing
Else if you'd just like to support us or follow our journey/celebration or you may wish to donate to my sponsorship page and help me reach my target at: https://www.justgiving.com/page/18foramy
The walk should take about 4 1/2 hours stopping half way at Turf Locks for lunch (and extra hour)so won't be a fast pace. Hopefully we'll arrive at The Boathouse in Dawlish Warren at approx. 4pm.
All welcome!
