We are all sickened, angered and saddened by the events of Monday the 22nd of May 2017 in Manchester, England.

Families and friends enjoying what should have been a fun, memorable and happy night, turned into tragedy on their way home.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected.

Martin Hibbert a friend of mine took his daughter to the concert and unfortunately got caught up in the devastating incident and are amongst those severely injured.

The photograph above was Martins last Facebook post, just before the concert. He commented: 'Quick pit stop @sancarlo before Miss Grande at the arena.'

Both are very poorly, and neither are going to make a speedy recovery, as both sustained life changing injuries of the worst kind.

It is clear both will need long term financial support.

Please give generously so we can help provide them with the support they need.

There are numerous fund raising events taking place organised by friends and family and I want to play my part.

I have decided to run the Manchester Half Marathon in October and my daughter and myself are running the "We Love Manchester" 10k in July and are aiming to raise a minimum of £1500 to support Martin & Eve. Given the amazing efforts and generousity so far I would now like to aim for £4000- thank you to everyone who has donated so far. Every pound makes a difference.

Please dig deep and give generously. Every penny counts and will help with the support they need.

Thank you.
