   SPONSORED WALK: Saturday 19th May 2007, We had 103 people turn up to a wet dark day. Two eager starters set off at 9am on their own, everyone else set off at 10.30 after seeing two silver star balloons being sent up to Connor and Rhys and Mayor Mallin sending us all on our way. I think the quickest walkers were back in 2,1/2hrs and others taking 5hrs, but however long and at whatever pace every person that walked with us did it for the same reason, in memory of our beautiful boys. All details are not in yet as we haven't got around to everyone who took part, but first place went to Connor Fenwick and Danny Hayden, closely followed by Richard Parry, so well done to the three of you. Anyone with any tales to tell, please mail us by the link at the side of this page and we'll post them on the site. 
  Even though it's a bit overdue, we have almost got all the sponsor money in now (28th July) and we are proud to announce it has totalled an amazing £10,912, Well done to one and all! The SCBU has been given £10217 in cheques and are buying 4 pieces of equipment which will each bear a plaque with the boys names on, keeping their memories alive for always. The other £695 is going towards buying the wonderful nurses on the unit some much needed new appliances for their staffroom, a small thank you to them aswell because they were the ones who kept myself and ian going throughout the time that the boys were alive. When the new equipment arrives in SCBU I will post photos of what we have bought on this site for everyone to see.
  The DVD player kindly donated by Bowers Electronics is going to Bethan Thomas who managed to raise an amazing £400, Well done Bethan.
