I hope this email find you and your family well.
I am not sure if you have alraedy heard about what we are doing on Saturday (I know Rachel Mapplebeck was going to phone Talitha, to keep her updated), but I thought it was important that I email you to let you know that on Saturday 13 June 2009, a group of Michala's friends from school, along with some willing volunteers, will climb the 3 Peaks in Yorkshire, a 25 mile walk and a real challenge. We are doing this to support the Michala Butterfield (nee Emmett) appeal. The aim of the appeal (as I am sure you know) is to endow either a scholarship or bursary in Michala's name, in perpetuity, at Somerville College, Oxford University. This would be for a talented female law student who would otherwise find it difficult, if not impossible, to take up their place at the college without financial support.
I thought it might be worth putting our 'just giving' address on the blog - as I am sure there may be people who look at this who may want to sponsor us.

We all miss Michala and Sam so much and I can't imagine how hard it must be for both families, but we feel that in supporting this appeal, in some small way we are keeping both Sam and Michala's memory alive. I am sure you will agree, that Michala would have approved of the way we are planning on spending the money, helping talented female law students, as she once was, through university.
Please send my love and best wishes to all the Buttefield family.
