Iʼve raised £2,280 to help support Martin & Eve Hibbert who were victims of the Manchester Terror Attack. *The aim is to exceed the £2000 target*
- Funded on Wednesday, 27th September 2017
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
Sadly my friend Martin Hibbert and his daughter Eve were caught up in the Manchester Terror attack at the MEN Arena after the Ariana Grande Concert on the 22nd of May 2017.
Unfortunately they both sustained serious life changing injuries. Going forward this fund would help with the ongoing support they need for their journey of recovery.
Please give generously so we can help provide them with the support they're going to need.
I will also be doing and trying to organise some fundraising events in the near future to help. I will update the page when more details are confirmed.
1) Indoor 142 mile bike ride at David Lloyd Leicester. 142 is the distance from my house in Leicester to the current hospital where Martin is carrying out his rehabilitation. David Lloyd have kindly agreed to host the event and provide a weekend family gift pass as a raffle prizes. If people or companies would like to donate more raffle prizes please contact me through the page or via twitter (@_CSK9). It will be hosted on the weekend of 22/23 July, I will have complete confirmation of the date in the coming days.
2) Charity football match. This is in the very early stages but as Managing Direct of Synergy Sports Management, Martin looks after many footballers including myself. A football event seems fitting given what a huge Man Utd and football fan Martin is. If anyone reading this would be in a position to offer a facility or know any celebs, footballers that would be interested in being a part of this event please contact me on this page or via twitter (@_CSK9).
Martin's school friends have also set up a page for him which I have shared on social media and people have already kindly donated. This page is: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/martinandevehibbert
Proceeds on both pages go directly to Martin and his family.
Thank you in advance for all of your support that. You are going to help truly inspirational, resilient, strong and wonderful people.
