Wrist bands are still available – so we can always have part of Huw with us ♥
We have got hold of some more wrist bands because the first lot sold out. So there are plenty left. We’ll sell more bands at the events this year so they’ll all get sold. But we just wanted to let people know there are some left.
As one of Huw’s best friends said ‘so we always have part of you with us ♥’

Talking to the Moon; I know you’re somewhere out there, somewhere far away
Two of Huw’s good friends performed ‘Talking to the Moon’ for Huw at the Picturedrome on 25th March 2011.
It’s such a meaningful song and was performed beautifully by Sam Bellas and Hayley Diamond. Huw loved Hayley and Sam.
Their performance on 25th March was recorded and you can listen to it here on YouTube.

Hepworth’s Number 2 will be a part of Holmfirth High School forever ♥
Nick, Jenny and Carys have had a Hepworth United number 2 shirt with photos and a pen- picture framed and it has been on the wall in the Sports Hall corridor – at the top of the stairs. The shirt (pictured) is in a case so is 3D instead of a flat shirt; Huw will always be a part of Holmfirth High School. He will be there in people´s hearts and with his shirt ♥
With many thanks to the school.
