We thought this would be a good event to take part in as it would have been Balinder’s 21st Birthday on the actual day which was Saturday 13th May. This was a good way of celebrating and remembering her on her 21st Birthday. We needed to do something as I could just not do nothing, even though it is tough to get through the day without her. All our family and friends supported us this day by either taking part in the event or sponsoring us. My employers kindly matched my donations that I collected from my work colleges. I do not know the exact total raised from this event as we had money raised on line. I believe it would have been about £1,700 pounds.

We thoroughly enjoyed the day which was also full of emotions happy and sad. The last part of the walk was the hardest as we had to go up a very steep hill, but it was worth it and we made it to the finishing line, this was a 20k walk and we did it in 5 hrs. I hope we made Balinder proud.

We hope this money will help the charity and all the people affected by this silent deadly killer and prevent any other deaths.
