£700 was added to the running total by my work this week, they sent it direct to PAPYRUS so what ever the number above shows add another £700 for the total amount!! X

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page made in loving memory of Ryan Nykolyszyn.

For those of you who knew Ryan, you will no doubt be as upset as many people now are having heard the tragic news that Ryan passed away on 29 October. 

Ryan was a son, a brother, a great friend and a team mate to others. He was one of the nicest people i ever had the pleasure of meeting. Ryan was a talented footballer which is how i first met him but we became very good friends from here. 

He was sadly taken from us following suicide. My aim to raise money is important, but more important is my aim to raise awarness for PAPYRUS who work to help and prevent suicide in young people. 

I do a lot to raise money for cancer charities which are close to my heart, however, i had no hessitation after this awful news in trying to raise money and awareness for this charity.

You may have heard that "movember" is a time where men can raise money for charity by growing a moustache and not shaving it for the whole month, people are normally sposored for this and help raise awareness of their chosen charity. I will be doing this starting from tomorrow 1st November in memory of Ryan.

My deapest sympathies are with Ryan's family, no words from me will help at this tragic time, however, after speaking to Ryan's dad Myron today, he is hapy for me to do this to raise money in memory of Ryan and to help raise awareness and do our bit to help other families. 

If you were lucky enough to have had the pleasure of meeting Ryan, please make a donotion, no matter how much you can spare, it all helps, as does spreading the word about this charity.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now. You can text to donate £1 by texting "ECHO99 £1" to 70070.

Lastly, to all of Ryan's family, our thoughts are with you all. 

 

RIP mate, we all miss you so much.
