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.
The best and most beautiful things are felt in the heart
None of us ever wanted to have to remember Huw if you know what I mean, but as we do, then tonight was the best way I could imagine to do it – with Huw’s friends and letting off flashing balloons into the calm night sky.
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.
George Oakley is presented with the 2nd Huw Thatcher Pride and Passion cricket shield

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
