Story

Hello friends.

In the early hours of Saturday 5th August our gentle giant, John was taken suddenly from us in the cruellest way.

To prove there is still good left and to put a little bit of it back we are looking to help John's family with the cost of his funeral. We would like to help ease the pain in whatever way we can for his family at this devastating time.

Please show your support. Let's give John back as much love as he gave to the rest of us and give him the send off he deserves.

Thank you for anything you can give. It really will go a long way.

Rest in peace Big John. May your love shine as bright now as it always did. xx

We keep smashing every target we set, so we're not going to raise it anymore, but please do keep giving. All the funds will go to John's family. It won't bring John back, but he would be so happy to know that we helped the family he left behind. Thank you all again for all your donations and messages so far xxx

Thank you again everyone so so much. The generosity from those that knew him, but also those who didn't yet gave what you could. It's incredibly touching and humbling and your messages as well as your donations are going to bring so much comfort. The response so far has been amazing. John would be so proud of us all right now!! xx
