Our main event this year was our 3rd BDFA Sponsored
Walk Challenge on 10th May 2008, which
raised a fantastic £25k this year. Read about in our
summer newsletter (in our download section). A huge
thank you to everyone, from babies to Grandads, who took
part and all family, friends and work colleagues for
their generous sponsorship. Come and join our next one
on 16th May 2009 for a great time raising
vital funds and awareness – just contact us on
bdfa.info@btinternet.com
to register your interest.

plan ahead to meet future needs. A small amount that you
may not miss each month builds up to an impressive sum
over a year or so!
