Story

Hello! I am Jack, a friend & neighbour of Oscar, Ian & Milo.

Me & Oscar grew up playing in the street, we would play games of football, ride the scooters / bikes or have snow ball fights in Decembers & Januarys.

Playing football is and was a challenge on our end of the street as one of the opposite neighbours simply could not and still cannot stand it! As soon as the ball was kicked a little too hard by mistake onto sed drive or garden - Mission was on to retrieve it! (This of course did not always work as we were only young & consequently did not know the definition of silent and sneaky!)

Oscar to put it into perspective was amazing, he was always up for playing out and having fun - During the time we were studying in primary, we made countless memories and he will always be remembered by myself, and my family.

Ian was a fantastic father figure and he really knew how to get you to push your limits in football! He was a lovely person and I respect him highly.

Milo, a motivated young boy. I unfortunately only met him, once or twice but he simply was a boy who certainly kept on pushing and making the closest people around him smile and laugh.

I hope to raise my target in honour of Oscar, Ian & Milo.

Thanks for taking the time to read,

Jack
