Anuschka Kruger successfully completes the Catterick Para 10 mile race on 11th September 2011
Anuschka Kruger completed the Para10 at Catterick on Sunday September 11th in one hour and 42 minutes. For some reason she was a bit disappointed with the time! As you can imagine it’s a really tough event and it’s a great achievement to finish it in whatever time. Anuschka has raised £600 to be split evenly between Help for Heroes and Huw’s trust. Here is a pic of her medal from last year.Look at the stars, look how they shine for you!

Here’s some feedback from a good day cycling on 24th September
Here are some pics and some feedback from the cycling event organised by the Cullaighs on Saturday 24th Sept. A good group turned up and they all had a really good day and raised some money for Huw’s trust. Most of all it was something that the Cullaighs wanted to do to remember Huw in a positive way – thank you and well done everybody.
Here is some feedback on Andy Thompson’s & Liz Blezard’s successful completion of the Great North Run
Andy Thompson and Liz Blezard both finished the Great North Run on Sunday 18th September 2011. Big Andy finished in 2 hours 8 minutes, just 18 months after breaking his leg and Liz finished in just over 2 hours (we’re not sure of the exact time yet.) They were spurred on by Huw and both raised a lot for his Trust. Congratulations on a great achievement to both of them. Here’s a bit more info about their day along with links to some photos.
To where you are: who can say for certain, maybe you’re still here?
One of Huw’s friends (a girl from his school year) was thinking of Huw the other day – this is her memory and at the end is a link to a beautiful song she heard on the radio.
Memories of Huw as Hepworth’s season starts: Huw loved playing footie with his friends & being part of a team with lads he adored
Here are some Hepworth United photos, memories and reflections on the day when the new football season started for Huw’s team mates, now in the Under 16s. Just like the first day at school last week, the first competitive match of season is a time when Hepworth’s number 2 has been remembered with love.
