bradders 0 Posted March 7, 2012 As many of the Norwich fans will know that Aston Villa fan following newopposition view ahead of game back in November.Well a few months ago now the city of Birmingham lost an inspirationalindividual in the form of 11year old Harry Moseley who sadly lost his fightwith an inoperable brain tumour. A group of Aston Villa fans organised acharity match along with an auction to raise money and awareness. Aston Villaformer players turned out to play against a team of Villa fans in his honour,the day was a success and rose over £3,500 with nearly 1,000 attendees.This same group are planning another charity event but this a far greaterchallenge, we are all attending the game at Carrow Road on Sunday 13th May. Butwe have decided in conjunction with HHHO''s a small group of Aston Villa fansincluding myself will walk from Villa Park to Carrow Road in a 150+ milejourney, raising as much cash and awareness.We will be leaving on Tuesday 8am and looking to arrive in Norwich sometimeon Saturday ahead of the game on the Sunday.Therefore I am appealing if anybody has contacts with the club that I canspeak with so can arrange something to finish of the event. Maybe get a meetingarranged with a few of you for when we arrive it would be most appreciated withany assistance given. Obviously would be a good publicity for forum, the club and all peopleconnected.Read Harry Story in more detail here at www.helpharryhelpothers.com,he raised over half a million pounds for the charity from his personalisedbracelets.Even though Harry was going through this illness he wanted to help others.Well as I stated a fewmonths ago that myself and a group of Villa fans will be walking to Carrow Roadto raise money and raise awareness for Birmingham’s Bravest Brummie.I am pleased toannounce that we have got the ball rolling training is underway, we recentlyhad our pictures taken at Villa Park and have a major media interest in thisstory.As a few of you may beaware that an article was written by the local Norwich newspaper.A charity event justgiving webpage has been setup at www.justgiving.com/Walk150-4HWe also have a txtdonation number people can currently donate if they aren’t too keen by doingthe followingHHHO 82 + £?

CharlieFarlie 0 Posted March 7, 2012 Bradders , I followed Harry and family via twitter and shared every high and low of his short but amazing life. I can still vividly remember the tweet from his mum shortly after Harryu passed describing the moment they tragically lost him; it was like loosing a member of my own family. Both Harry and the family were an inspiration thousands not only based in and around Birmingham but the whole county, despite so much trauma and pain Harry never stopped the passion raise awareness and ultimately help others. Sadly I have no connection with the club (Pete , maybe you could help ) but hope you find some way of uniting his passion for football with that of the yellow army. I would love to see you all walk into our hallowed turf prior to the game and get what I am sure would be a massive welcome from both sets of fans. I have already donated to HHHO ( Help Harry Help Others ) but would happily stand outside the ground with a collection box etc prior to the game , so if you want to PM me please feel free and maybe I can arrange to meet up someone should that be an option. Best of luck with the walk , I hope to be somewhere either in or around Carrow Road to welcome you there ! Fellow pinkun’s please check the web link for info on this incredible lad’s life and legacy, such an inspiration for such a young person.
