run in the London Marathon, he is running in memory of Steve and hopes
to raise over £1650.00 for The Mental Health Foundation - their<span class="style74"> mission is to help people survive, recover from and prevent mental health problems.</span><br />

<div class="style71">
<br /></div>
<div class="style71">
We will never know the torment Steve was
going through but if Chris's fundraising can save just one person from
going through the same, or if it can save one family from going through
what we went through, and still do go through every day, then it will be
worthwhile. No one knows who is next to be affected but together we can make a difference, we
hope you can help. </div>

In the town of Plattsmouth, Nebraska, USA, the Mayor made Steve an
honorary citizen at the 'Rhino Run' (Motorcycle Rally) in May last year.
<br /> <br /> There is a proclamation in the town <span class="text_exposed_show">hall
about Steve which mentions his honorary citizenship and also that the
19th May from now on will be known as 'Mr Steve Love Day'.<br /> <br /> It
was Dan who found out about this initially from another youtube user -
really2ugly - who attended the rally. They were quite shocked when the
Mayor started talking about Steve to the crowd. He didn't record the
event but did get a photo of the proclamation and reads it out in one of
his videos. The proclamation is mentioned and read out about 4 minutes
into the video below:</span></span><br />

We are, as always, honoured that our son should be remembered this way
and that so many people care so much about him.</span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932577087929712390.post-71695262595832726302012-12-21T11:05:00.002+00:002012-12-21T11:05:30.015+00:0012 Days of Sven-masSome fun photos of Christmas past, over on the Facebook page for anyone interested:<br />

<br />
Sadly we struggled to keep all of Steve's going as they were so intricate and complicated - typical Steve (and Cup!) to have caches that were so cryptic.<br />
<br />
But we should not have worried because avid geocachers spire67 and Maxhench were determined to help us get them back up and running.<br />
<br />
They are spending their time recreating the archived caches and putting them back on line in a tribute account called 'Celebrating Sven'<br />
<br />
You can see the first of them here: <a href="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC40VDW">http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC40VDW</a><br />
<br />
More to follow as they work to recreate them.<br />
<br />
Big thanks to both of them for their hard work <br />
<br />
Happy Caching!

But thanks to the detective work of a lovely lady at Fast Host I have been able to it track down and get it transferred.<br />
<br />
Work is still continuing to get the maps back up and working too.<br />

We hope that it will travel around the world and along the way visit all the memorial geocaches which have been set up in Steve's memory.<br />

I am working to keep the website going as I think it is important information that Steve would want his friends to still access.<br />
