I came across this great fun walk today in one of the blogs that I follow and wanted to pass it on. There is a group of people walking Hadrian’s Wall in Britain. (I still remember studying Hadrians Wall as a child) It stretches across the Breadth of England and they are planning to walk it in eight days.
The cause they are raising money for is The Joseph Salmon Trust.
Joseph was a happy, healthy three year old who loved life. He enjoyed playing with his toy trains, his cars and his pretend kitchen. He had a busy social life, with lots of friends from nursery and friends who lived nearby.
He enjoyed cooking with his mummy,going on trains and buses with his daddy, and playing outside with anyone who would join in.
Joseph had a passion for books and had just started to ‘read’ them to his younger sister. It felt like his life was just beginning.
This all changed on 1st April 2005, when Joseph died of streptococcal pneumonia. Joseph did not suffer, he simply fell into a deeper sleep from which he never awoke.
The Joseph Salmon Trust has been set up in his name.
The Trust supports parents who have lost a child by providing financial assistance to those who need it most. This may be to help with funeral costs or to allow the self employed a break from work while they come to terms with their loss.
Grieving families have enough to deal with without worries about where they will find the money to say goodbye to their child or pay the next electricity bill. Nothing we can do can make their situation better, but we can do something to stop it getting worse.
