Story
Oliver Darlington was a big football fan, watching Wycombe Wanderers with his family and an amazing pacey winger for Downley Dynamo's. Oliver Darlington was taken from us all because of sepsis. His memory will live on, and raising awareness of the sign and symptoms can create a legacy through education.
Your donation will go towards a long lasting memorial bench to be situated on the side of the Pedestal Football Pitch, where his Dynamo teammates can carry on playing for him, and his friends and community can have a place of remembrance. #Kick a Ball for Oli.

Our thoughts are with the family! Our son goes to nursery with Jack and another plays at the Dynamos. We can't imagine such a loss. RIP Oliver.
