A thank you to hospices

-

ROYAL BOROUGH:

A woman from Windsor has raised thousands for two children's hospices after completing a 79mile walk in memory of her late son Joshua.

Emma Lowe, along with her mum Sarah, embarked on a four day walk over the Easter weekend to raise funds for the children’s hospice services that gave her family ‘so much kindness and support’.

In November last year, Emma and her husband Peter’s baby boy Joshua was just five weeks old when he developed meningitis.

He passed away aged just seven weeks old in

November last year at Alexander Devine Children's Hospice Service in Maidenhead.

Joshua and his family were cared for and supported firstly by Helen & Douglas House in Oxfordshir­e and then the Maidenhead charity based in Snowball Hill.

In honour of Joshua’s final journey between the two hospices, Emma challenged herself to walk the 79 miles between them to raise funds for both charities. So far she has raised nearly £7,000.
