My name is Angela and I am trying to raise £4100 to plant 1000 trees in memory of Sam Jack Gelder, my best friend, who died tragically at the age of 28 in a fatal motorcycle accident on the 23/04/2017.

Sam was a pacifist, a really beautiful, peaceful soul who is deeply missed by everyone who knew him; Sam had a special connection with nature and especially loved trees. He was never happier than when he was surrounded by them in the great outdoors. He always used to say "there are too many people and not enough trees". Sam was really keen to see the planet prosper as well as people and believed that planting more trees was one of the ways we could redress the balance.

It would mean so much to me to be able to make this living memorial to Sam which will last for generations and benefit life itself!

I am planning to do sponsored events and fundraisers in order to reach the target needed to make this happen and I will update this post with details on events.

If you feel like you could help, even in the smallest, way please donate to this cause.

All monies raised will be going to Treesponsibility who will provide all materials and labour to plant the trees for Sam.
