Fundraising In loving memory of our son James

[vio]

Our son James was born on 28 Apr 2007, he sadly passed away on 11 Sep 2007, in our arms at Robin House ( Children's Hospice).
James was born with a rare genetic condition called Epidermolysis Bullosa, he had the most severe form of EB and was fatal in infancy.
James skin was as fragile as butterfly wings, his skin broke at even the slightest touch, causing painful open blisters and wounds, the blistering was not limited to his skin, but also affected his inner body linings, such as his mouth and oesophagus. James was a very brave wee boy, he was a son we have always been proud of and it has been a privilege to be his parents. In loving memory of our son James Terrence Lynch ( Jim Jim ), we are going to do the Great Scottish Walk on 11 May 2008 in Glasgow, please support us by visiting our fundraising website www.justgiving.com/jim_jim, thank you very much!

Vio, how is the training going?

feedmenow, hello! training is going well, there are some ladies in my estate ( from my aerobic class ) doing women's 10K in May, they are doing it for DebRA and will put the money in my justgiving to top up the total, I feel very grateful that there are so many people who shown their support.

bump! james 1st birthday is approaching, please support us in any way you can!

Vio, I asked a question then never came back to hear your answer!

Glad the training is going well. It is lovely, isn't it, when other people are as generous as the ladies you know. I have 2 friends who have said they are going to do a half maraton in the summer and who asked us if they could do it to raise money for SaNDS in memory of my little princess. Nice to know that people care I had a very brief moment of thinking I should sign up and join them, but then realised that I'm at a wedding that weekend (probably a good thing too cos I can't run to the shop and back, let alone 13 miles!!!!)

feedmenow, my walk is 12miles!! i know its a walk but 12 miles!! i reckon it will take me more than 4 hours to finish it, I will try my best though.

Our fundraising is going well, i know its rather unlikely that we can reach the target but every penny counts. A friend of mine has made a donation of £1000!!! We have over £2000 now, its not bad is it??

bump.

it takes a lot to bring me to tears but your link had me crying what abest of luck with the walk beautiful amazing little boy

Tomorrow is James' Birthday, he would have been 1 year old. He will be on the Scottish Daily Record tomorrow, theres a story about our wee boys fight and his life. Those of you who live in Scotland, get a copy and read about James if you get a chance. If you dont live in Scotland, you can view the story online at daily record's website.

Vio, I'm so sorry for your loss he was such a beautifull baby.
Best of luck for the walk.
Thinking of you all
