My story

 

Thank-you for visiting the fundraising page in memory of James "CountB" Savage, who passed away on 30th December 2006. There will be a fundraising nightclub event on Saturday 27th January. We are also continuing to compile a photo album of James - you can upload your photos here.

James' parents Bill and Hazel, and fiancée Sarah, have asked that those wishing to make a gesture in James' memory donate to the Jennifer Trust for Spinal Muscular Atrophy, which provides support for those suffering from James' disability and their families, plus research into treatments and special equipment.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate: The Jennifer Trust for SMA will receive your money electronically and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in Gift Aid will be added to your donation at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support.

For more information, or to pass messages to James' family or fiancée, please email his friend from college/university days, Andrew Oakley andrew@aoakley.com or see Andrew's LiveJournal.

Updates:
1st Jan:  Having hit £250 fairly quickly on the first day, I have updated the fundraising target.
1st Jan: Just about hitting £500 at the end of the first day, so have updated the target again.
2nd Jan: Hit £1000 by afternoon of second day, so upped the target again.
2nd Jan: Added funeral details. All welcome, please come along.
3rd Jan: Exceeded £1500 by morning of the third day. Target updated to £2000 which I'm minded to leave as the final target, even if it is exceeded again.
5th Jan: Hit £2000 last night, superb. Added details of photo album and Judder fundraiser.
9th Jan: Funeral was held today at Cheltenham Crematorium, with a truly superb turnout- not enough room in the chapel to fit everyone in. Thanks to all who attended.

I was in a coma when you died. It feels odd to have survived when you're gone. Donation by Jennie Kermode 30/06/07
