Those of you who know Pete, will know that he is larger than life, full of personality, bright, creative, energetic, generous and above all, totally devoted to his family - Stacey, Evia, Saffy and Saul.

On Wednesday 26th October, Pete suffered a major stroke and their lives changed in a moment. Although Pete has regained most of his movement back, he is unable to read, write or speak. For someone who does not stop talking, we can only imagine Pete's frustration at not being able to communicate except via sign language. He is at home and undergoing intensive physio and speech therapy classes. Stacey has been amazing and is his rock.

We have set up this justgiving page to give Pete and Stacey's friends and family an opportunity to help them through what is a very stressful, uncertain and worrying time. If you can, please donate something - however small the amount. Every little helps, as they say and it's something positive that we can all do to help alleviate the family's immediate financial pressures.
