Just over a year ago our close friends’ lives fell apart when they lost their brother, uncle and son.

John was a truly remarkable man; he accomplished so much in such a short space of time, and did so with immense charm and endless laughter. In fact, I’ve never known anyone’s laugh to light up a room in the way John’s did.

He was such a positive force in life so, as a legacy to John, his family and friends are raising money for Hackney Quest; an organisation that funds long term projects for the benefit of families and young people in Hackney that are at risk of social exclusion.

I'd be grateful for any support.
