A Mile in Memory 2013

Since 2007 A Mile in Memory has been a lovely way for family and friends to get together to honour the life of someone special.  It is a poignant event for us as it was founded the year that Alexander died and the first fundraising we ever did.  Members of Mumsnet started the walk in memory of a little girl called Maude who was 2 when she died in January 2007.  It was a huge success and FSID took the event on as their own.


I've never met Nola, Maude's Mummy but we were in contact then and we still are friends on Facebook.  I owe a lot to Maude and Nola for helping me through those first few months,  I found it hard and unthinkable that Alex was over 1 when he died and knowing I wasn't alone in that was a little comforting.  I had never heard of babies over 1 suffering from Cot Death or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome but it does happen, sadly. 

This year's I've planned a walk in Yorkshire at Cannon Hall Park and Gardens.  This is a fabulous local setting and after we have strolled around our mile we will release our balloons and messages into the sky for our angels to read.

I hope to organise a little bit of fun after as well with our usual picnic taking place but also some games and a bit of fun for us all to get involved in.  If you can help with this or have any ideas as to what we could do then please do get in touch.

The date is Saturday 11th May and as with previous walks there will be many held across the country and as we all set of at 11:00 I know there will be many thoughts with all those babies that we couldn't be sharing the walk with.

If you would like to join us then please do I will ask for a donation to the charity as part of the walk nothing to break the bank just £1 and I have set up a Facebook event so I can communicate any details on there as well as here on the website.

I look forward to seeing you then
