With the support of 81 of you, many of you strangers, we raised the initial amount that we wanted to raise, and almost managed the secondary target ...missing it by just £76. I can't adequately express just how grateful the family is to you all. Your kind words and donations show just how much of an impact Kieron made in people's lives, and just how much he will be remembered, and missed. We will be sending individual thank you messages to you all over the next day or so, but I just wanted to briefly say a communal 'Thank You' to you all.

I feel like an idiot, cos today at his funeral I forgot to read out the poem I wrote for the occasion: The Covid pandemic has wrought a terrible cost, leaving families devastated ...so many lives lost. You fought so hard, but eventually lost the fight and the world is dimmer without your precious light. Your bravery was legendary, and I want you to know that your spirit will live on in me, wherever I may go. So rest in peace, and despite the sadness we cannot hide we pray that you find the rest, that in life you were often denied. Much love!
