Cheering and shouting on the day would be great but a donation – no matter how big or small – would be even better!</span></em></p>

Jon had been a valued member of the practice for over 30 years so this year it’s all about keeping his legacy alive. Our nominated charity is one close to his heart – The Vipingo Village Fund. </span></em></p>

This is a fantastic charity and one that we hope you will be able to support.</span></em><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 131%;"> </span></p>
