Well done. These look great and I have duly pasted them into my blog and my FB page. Absolutely brilliant for us to help raise the profile of the campaign.

Thank you

I found your website through ‘the widgets’. What a great idea are these!
You write beautiful Bethany. I was moved by every word.
Your very personal tribute to Adrian but a tribute also to our humanity.
Norway indeed, the summer air and lichts are so lovely and ‘free’ up there…it makes everything and everyone clearly visible even from a very great distance - separated in space as in time!

Hi Bethany
These are BRILLIANT! You have obviously worked so hard! What a cool idea!
I will contact the co-authors on the blog with which I’m involved - and see about embedding one (or more) of these widgets. Our blog was set up as a result of Baldy’s Blog. I’m UK based but we are a group of people from across the globe who have been touched by Adrian’s campaign. Many of our contributors are the familiar names from the comments section on Baldy’s and our blog was set up as a kind of private forum - (before the facebook group was set up) so that we could keep in touch and share our thoughts, fears and sadness in a place, without burdening Adrian and his family! Okay, so our blog’s not really ‘out there’ for general viewing, but do these work on Facebook? - I’ll also pass on the idea to other people with blogs…
Love Charlotte (charlottenewall@hotmail.com)

randomly found your site through Adrian Sudbury’s blog today. I’m originally from huddersfield (the town where he was based jo wise when he wrote for the paper there) and have been following his blog…..i just saw that you were due to leave today on your travels… i hope you will go on march 8th 09. i’ve been to many of the places you’re planning on going and i hope you get there.

i run a music festival in hudds and this coming year (09) we will be supporting sudders campaign and the examiner (that he used to write for) are our media partner.

i wish you well and all who are going through what you shouldn’t have to at such a young age…. keep in touch

Why Norway?

Although I did not know at the time, the night Adrian left I had a dream that both of my parents were dying. I was running around in a panic trying to fix things that couldn’t be fixed to prevent this. My mom was acting like she had Alzheimer’s - out of it, childlike, but happy. My dad was also happy and very calm, which i thought was very strange for the cimcumstances. I didn’t know why they were dying, they seemed healthy and they weren’t scared or worried in the slightest. I was very upset and couldn’t get a grip on the situation nor did i think it was OK in anyway. Then my father told me they were going to Norway. I was confused - why Norway? In real life, my parents have never talked of Norway and it was never planned in any of my travels to visit there.

I asked them why they were going there because I just wanted them to stay with me instead. My dad said they had always wanted to go and so that’s what they were going to do NOW. It was their farewell voyage, I knew I would never see them again, which upset me greatly but not them. It was as if they had a larger understanding and knew not to worry. During the entire dream I was in a state of confusion yet strangely, I could see how at peace my parents were with this decision. I guess i was slightly comforted because they were so calm and ready for the journey and looking forward to it.

It was a very wierd dream. I woke up and couldn’t get it out of my mind and I was really worried that something had happened to my parents and after a phone call I discovered they were fine. A couple hours later I read that Adrian had started his next adventure and it all began to make sense. I felt like it was just a little farewell from him, probably not to me in particular. Just a shout out from start of his journey onto new things and so that anyone listening at that moment would know that he was quite well. If this is the case, he was very at peace, almost i would say a bliss.

Not sure how Norway falls into the scheme of things but I guess it’s not really important. Norway was just the beginning of the new road and the symbolic end to this one. The important thing was that he was at peace, calm and ready to begin the journey. Although it was a very emotional dream there was a great feeling of well being. I really feel in my heart that, whether he is in Norway or not, he is doing great, is happy and probably paying great attention to his loved ones.

Moving words and tribute to Adrian’s life and meaning to you..

If he were around today still, there would be a lot of people getting virtual hugs from him, I’m sure..
