Story
Last year Lee Welland from Nuneaton sadly passed away after fighting what can only be described as a heroic and amazingly brave and inspiring battle against kidney cancer. Lee was a huge giver to the community promoting fitness and wellbeing through his power bags fitness classes and even during his aggressive cancer treatment he continued to fundraise, promote and spread a huge amount of positivity to everyone who knew him. His inspiring story and love for his family were incredibly moving. Especially that of his daughter Eva. Having gone to school with Lee and having a daughter also of a similar age I can not begin to imagine going through what Lee and his family have. It breaks my heart, but like Lee always encouraged. A positive outlook and approach to life is what gets us through the toughest of times and he proved that in abundance.
I will be raising money this christmas for Eva and taking the stress off of her mother Sarah and her close family by helping with what has been a tough year. I will using my hobby as a paramotor pilot with the help of a few fellow pilots to bring Santa and his elves to the skies of my local town of Stafford. The aim is spread some magic this Christmas to children who have all suffered over the past few years through school closures, socialising and mental health struggles through trying to understand this horrible pandemic. What better way than to see santa fly over their town. Dates and times will be added closer to the time due to great UK weather but we are aiming for mid Decemeber. So please if you can spare any donation whatsoever to help this Beautiful Girl and her family have a great Christmas this year it would be hugely appreciated. Thankyou and a Merry Christmas to you all.
