Music & Family Fun Day

Hi

As you are aware Richard Hunt was the 200th service person to loose their life in Afghanistan.

Hazel Hunt the mother of Richard did not want him to die in vain so along with family and
friends set up The Richard Hunt Foundation.

We have been holding talks with Monmouthshire County Council and have now confirmed a
date for a Music and Family fun day to raise funds and awareness for our injured and
often forgotten heroes. In the ten weeks since Richard passed away we have raised in
excess of £10,000 this has gone to Help For Heroes, The Poppy Appeal and other charity
organisations. We hope to continue to raise funds and see this the first of hopefully
many large scale events to be held.

We can now announce the date of the Music and Family fun day to be held at Bailey Park in
Abergavenny on the 15th May 2010.

The day will consist of live music from a wide variety of bands, displays, funfair, trade
stalls, food and drink. The planning is in the very early stages but we believe we have
a very good team working on this event and we have had so many offers of support it is
overwhelming.

For more information please contact us.

Help For Heroes Funds Raised

Funds Raised

In four weeks of fundraising we have raised over Ten Thousand Pounds for Help For Heroes.  We shall continue raising funds for this very worthwhile charity along with raising funds for The Richard Hunt Foundation as well.

The sum of money raised in such a shortwhile is a fantastic effort and shows that people have a respect for our wounded heroes.

The fundraising continues this weekend with a 3 legged dressed as bunnies walk up The Sugar Loaf  (Mynydd Pen-y-Fal) .  Fee and Rhi being the 3 legged bunny.

Pop along and cheer the girls on.  All good luck messages and comments welcome both here and on the www.facebook.com/therichardhuntfoundation.

We also have a forum on the website www.welshwarrior.co.ul/forum
