I love the tiny feet of my daughters - they're soft, round and perfect. Those little feet have so far to go, so many kilometers to travel. As individuals, our girls have such amazing adventures to embark on and I will do my best to never hold them back, remembering always that their lives and loves are their own to discover. I will guide them as best as I can, I will love them with all of my heart and I will encourage them to be the people they want to be.

Let's celebrate for Ella


It's Ella's 11th birthday soon...
She would be excited - over the moon!
But she'll watch from afar,
Our sweet little star,
As we celebrate her day
In the very best way...
With lots of good fun
And a day in the sun.

In honour of Ella we're inviting you to join us on Sunday, 5 February at Golden Harvest park, near Northgate. 

We really just want to remember our little girl in the best way possible, it's been such a tough year but we have been blessed with so much love. Old friendships strenghened, new friends made - and we'd love to see you. It's also a great opportunity to say 'thank you'...to all of you, for everything!

Yes, we're calling it a Run4Ella, but please don't let that scare you away. You don't have to run, or even walk. You can relax in the park and meet up with us at the end for a picnic and a chinwag :-)

The Parkrun organisers are helping us but please note that this is not an official Parkrun, and they cannot be held accountable for any incident on the day. They are volunteering their time to show us the 5km route and join in the fun afterwards. They didn't know Ella, they barely know me, but they've come together as a community of runners in memory of Ellie.

The actual run / walk starts at 09h00 sharp and should be finished by no later than 10h30 - even for the walkers. So if you only want to come for the picnic you can have some extra time in bed and join us around then :-)

If you do reply 'yes' to the invite, please let me know how many of you there might be, just so that we can get a basic idea of numbers.

See you then,
With love
Ella's family
