Story

For the month of October we will be taking a break again from our ongoing fundraising for the Stars Appeal to take part in the Miles in Memory challenge for Aching Arms. All inspired by a little bear we were so kindly given after our beautiful Hadley died in 2019.

Aching Arms is a really special charity that provides comfort bears to newly bereaved parents. Each bear is donated in the memory of another baby gone too soon and they are usually given to newly bereved mothers as they prepare to leave hospital without their baby.

This October, as I did last year, I will be taking on a walk each day, dedicating each day of the challenge to a different baby. If you would like us to walk in memory of your baby please do send me a message on Instagram or at hadleys.hearts@gmail.com - we would appreciate a donation too but do not by any means expect one. Our target of £100 will mean that Aching Arms can donate another 10 bears to families in need.

If you are local to the Salisbury area / want to meet somewhere not too far away, then you are so welcome to join me any of the days for a walk. And if you have any ideas for any walks we can do so we're not doing the same one 31 times we would love to hear!

We won't be able to do a coffee morning this year due to social distancing guidelines. But we will be doing a little coffee and cake sale outside our house and will have some of our little hearts and keyrings for sale. I will share more information about this closer to the time! 

As always, thank you so much for your support!
