Ellie & Mark have signed up to Zip Slide across St James' Park on Saturday 17th March 2018. This event is for a charity very close to our hearts. As you are aware, our son and Ellie's seven year old brother Ben was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia on 1st January 2018. A huge shock to our family. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment at the RVI in Newcastle.
Gareth Williams from Newcastle United Foundation has been with Ben on a daily basis and even on the most horrendous days has brightened Ben's day and motivated him. Gareth and Ben have built up a lovely relationship and discuss their love of football. Gareth is there for everyone on Ward 4 (Cancer Unit). We know that there are many sponsored events going on at present and fully understand that our friends can't support everything. Please can you consider donating a small amount in order for us to raise funds for Newcastle United Foundation.
All funds raised will help support Foundation Disability Projects across Newcastle, North Tyneside, Gateshead and Northumberland.
