It has been a difficult couple of weeks since our last post.

The messages of love and support have been completely overwhelming, we thank each and every one of you for your kind messages, they really have meant the world to us.

Fly High Alfie Bear

On Friday Alfie’s funeral was held at St Benedict’s Church, many of you turned up to help celebrate Alfie’s short life.

It was lovely to see so many of Alfie’s favourite colours being worn by everyone, it was of course an extremely difficult day, there were some beautiful tributes, it was comforting to hear everyone’s happiest memories.

Our Ongoing Commitment

We have committed to continue the fight to raise awareness of DIPG and in doing so, raise valuable funds to be dedicated to research activities. This commitment is unwavering, there needs to be a cure for DIPG, there needs to be a cure for all brain tumours and there needs to be more awareness of this devastating disease!

The Fund Raising Efforts Also Continue

Coffee Morning

The wonderful Hunsbury Park Primary Dinner Ladies held a very successful coffee morning, with guest appearances from Peppa Pig and Fireman Sam and activities such as biscuit decorating and face painting, the support for the event was amazing and they raised some £1,300, a massive leap forward for the fund.

Race for Life

Michelle Lewis, having decided to sign up for the 10k Race for Life at Abington Park last Sunday dedicated the race to Alfie’s memory, she also sparked additional donations to our just giving page and in her moment of fame gave Alfie Bear’s Journey a plug on Heart Radio!

Please take a minute to watch her wonderful video
