Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In August 2011 my wife, Helen, aged 32, died as a result of a rare complication called Amniotic Fluid Embolism whilst giving birth to our beautiful daughter, Niamh, who she never got the opportunity to meet. In her memory, Kristian Headland and I will be cycling from Ashington to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Helen's favourite city, in August/September 2012. We will be raising money from Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, Helen's favourite charity, and offline the AFE Foundation, a group supporting survivors of AFE and their families.

Donations to AFE Foundation can be done via the link to Paypal on our Facebook page below.

Please write 'Helen Robertson' in the additional info for seller box when you review your amount if you donate to AFE Foundation, so that we are able to track these donations for our total. also hope to have a number of fundraising events in the run up to next September and are looking for anyone with ideas or suggestions, offers of help etc.

We hope to raise at least £5000 for each charity, so please dig deep! All costs for the trip are being met by us, so be assured all the money donated from any activity will go straight to the charities.
