Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>The two Dereks, Jim and Alan celebrate their 60th birthday this year, but have to do so without our lifelong pal and fifth member of the &lsquo;gang&rsquo;, wee George. A close friend since childhood, George was ever present in our lives and a constant in all of our shared memories of the Harris, Kelso, Mennies, holidays and, of course, our growing families.</p> <p>His mischievous sense of humour ensured he was always at the centre of whatever nonsense we got up to, but he was also the first to help and support us when needed. George, together with Janice, Scott and Jen, are always in our thoughts, particularly at this time &ndash; he would have loved getting together for a birthday bash and belting out Blueberry Hill!</p> <p>Instead of presents, we&rsquo;re asking for donations in George&rsquo;s memory to Walkoncemore, a charity very close to his heart and for which he worked tirelessly as a Trustee. We hope you agree this is an appropriate cause and thank you for any donations made.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
