In August this year , it would have been our amazing dad John’s 60th birthday.
As many of you know, dad passed away in July 2021 aged just 54 from a spontaneous bleed on the brain which left him in a coma for 12 days in the Preston Critical Care unit. As this was during Covid the family was only allowed to visit just twice to say goodbye. As you can imagine, this was an extremely difficult time which changed our lives forever. We have always wanted to do something in dads memory, but until now we didn’t feel ready.
In true John style, we are going to celebrate his 60th by throwing a huge party , and hopefully with your help, raising even more money for charity.
Tickets are £35 and must be purchased beforehand, by contacting Charlotte or Daisy. This includes live music from Gun and Gravel and a delicious supper from local suppliers!
Throughout the year we are planing on taking on several challenges/ pledges with the theme ‘60 for Sixty’. We hope you’ll all get involved too, and raise some money for either our chosen charities, or another close to your heart ❤️
Please use this Just Giving link when raising your own money and to support us. https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/daisy-wilson-2?utm_medium=CF&utm_source=WA
We hope you will join us in making dad proud!
