Welcome

 Alexander's Charity Ball all started in 2010 I wanted a way to make memories and create a legacy for our son Alexander who died suddenly and unexpectedly in February 2007.

Alexander was a happy, healthy and very cheeky 17 month old.  His sudden death caused our family untold heartache as well as complete confusion...How does a healthy baby go to bed full of beans and not wake up the next morning?

 I would like an answer to this question and whilst there are none forthcoming, at the moment, with continued research I hope that someone, someday will be able to help me.  Without money however this vital research is not able to commence so in the May following Alexander's passing we joined a local walk in memory of our son and other babies lost to SIDS to raise money for The Lullaby Trust and from there every May I have organised our own 'Mile in Memory' to coincide with lots of National miles as part of  the charity's Save a Baby Month.

The walks are fabulous and we always have a great turnout but, I felt that there were lots of walks, runs, cycle rides and other such fabulous events being endured across the country for many wonderful charities and we are all being asked to dig deep and sponsor as much as we can.  I figured that eventually pockets might run dry, so I wanted to do something a little different.

I could never have envisioned all those years ago what this night would come to mean to me and so many people, it's part of their social calendar and seems set to grow and grow. In this ever growing world of charities it's important that we keep plugging away at fundraising and it's no easy task but it's more than worth it when we tot up the amount we've raised and we find out exactly how that will go to help families within Yorkshire.  

Alexander's Charity Ball has been an epic journey for us.
From feelings of desolation and despair came something so positive, we are so proud of all that we've achieved in the years we've hosted the event. There is nothing like seeing a room full of people all there offering their love and support to give your heart a boost.

The night is not possible without so much generosity and it still blows me away at what people are prepared to do for charity and especially for us some are proud to say we are back for 2021!


 We are stunned at what we've been able to achieve since we lost Alexander and it's a fitting legacy for the Son who will never get the chance to grow up and choose his own path in life.
