Running, karate, continued fund raising & more of the never ending, lovely memories of Huw ♥♥♥
As we move into winter, there’s still plenty to report from the Huw Thatcher Trust, and it seems to me that there will continue to be a lot to say about how so many people want to remember Huw and support brain injured people. In the last month, the total raised by the Trust has reached nearly £70,000 and will pass that total when the karate charity challenge has taken place on 16th December.
Recent reflections about Huw and an update from the opening of Osman House
Some recent reflections about Huw and an update from the opening of BIRT’s new facility – Osman House – along with news on fund raising as the Trust total soars past £69,000.
An update from October – it hasn’t changed at all – we still think of Huw just the same as we did last year
I start this month’s update with this picture from Huw’s 2010-11 football registration card. He was coming up to his 15th birthday when he got this done – in August 2010.
Huw’s Trust has now raised £67,000; this is how the money is being used
You may know that the Huw Thatcher Trust has now raised £67,000. That’s the result of thousands of contributions over the last 18 months involving many hundreds of people – friends of Huw and his family, relatives and even some people we haven’t met at all or hadn’t met until recently. Either way they are contributions by totally ‘sound’ people who care. So we want to update everybody on how their contributions are being spent – and how their generosity in remembering our beautiful teenage boy, is being used.
So many memories this August and September – and other nice things to tell you about
This time of year is important for lots of people as they start new years at school, college or uni – or get back to work after their summer hols. It is a time of year when there can be lots of changes and is therefore a time where there are lots of lovely memories of Huw as well as the sadness that he is not experiencing those new and exciting things that he should be. To start with here are two lovely photos from Huw as a 15 year old at school that 2 of his friends put on Facebook for us a year ago.
So much to tell everyone – I have to do the August update early
It should be time to do another update at the end of August, but it has been busy since 23rd July – and there is a lot to tell everyone. There have been lovely things to remember Huw and since July a further £2,000 added to the fundraising total which thanks to all of you, now stands at £64,000. Here’s a picture of Huw at ‘Little Wembley’ Holmfirth in the summer 2 years ago. Read more 
An update from July that saw so much dedication and kindness, lots of memories of Huw and a lot of fun ♥ ♥ ♥
Here is a picture of Huw from summer two years ago to start this message about what has been happening to remember Huw this summer. It is a lovely picture of a happy and handsome Huw, a few months before his 15th birthday.
An update from June: a month that has seen so much happening and lots of preparation for a busy July
There’s a heck of a lot going on regarding the Trust at the moment – planning for events in July and a lot has happened during June – positive things involving family and the community – as well as ongoing pride – and the inevitable regret over a year later. Here is a picture of Huw as a young boy in the early days a Holmfirth High. Read more
An update from May 2012 – a time when Huw’s friends are moving on to another stage of their lives
Here is an update about what has been happening regarding the Trust during May - the month when Huw’s friends had their last normal day at school and when his Hepworth team mates had their last end of season evening as a junior team. Read more
