A heartfelt thank you to all of you who have kindly shared and donated to this Ben's Epic Christmas Boxes fundraiser already! We are overwhelmed by the kindness being shown!

We have nine days to go, with the fundraiser finishing on 4 December and we would dearly love to fly past our target of £5,000.

We know Ben would be thrilled at the prospect of all of this happening and would doubtless, love to be involved in being Father Christmas and handing out the Christmas Boxes to all the children. The hardest thing about all of this fundraising and creativity, is being unable to share it with our beloved son.

I'm sure Ben's sisters, Ella and Rose, will be helping in his memory and I know that the children on the wards will so appreciate the sparkle and joy we will be able to bring them, thanks to the many acts of kindness seen here.

With humble gratitude and much love,

The Walkers
