Hi Ben,
Im really sorry to hear the tragic news about Tom. Tonight Airienteers held a minutes silence for Tom and Rachel before our night score event on Danefield, and the event was dedicated to them. I will pass on your fundraising event to the rest of AIRE. My family and I are all thinking of you and your parents at this time.

Hi Joe, Bruce and Helen,

Tom and Rachel would be very pleased to know what was done at the AIRE event last night - a nice tribute. I still keep hoping that this will all turn out to be a bad dream. But, alas, I know thats not going to happen.

Thank you for passing details of my Grizzly run around. Although the money raised through my run will never replace Tom, or any of the others killed, it does at least enable me and others to feel as though we are contributing to something positive out of such a tragic event. It is going very well at the moment, with nearly £3000 raised in less than 24 hours. Tom would be humbled by that, as well as by some of the fantastic and moving comments being left on the web-page.

Regards,

Ben.
