Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Our old teammate and lifelong friend Roger is living with Motor Neurones disease (diagnosed April 2021). Roger played for Maidenhead 1st team for 15 years starting around early 1990’s. He was an integral part of our successful team, he was fit as a butcher’s dog, strong & uncompromising player on the pitch, who gave no less than 100% each game. After the game he was one of the lads,
loved a beer and a joke more often than not at his own expense.
Roger was born in Ormskirk, Lancashire and when he left the RAF he moved south to work for the Ministry of Defence.
Roger has been fighting MND since April 2021, supported with resilience and good humour by his wife Sophie and son Barnaby, who is 9, with resilience and good humour.
Roger Smith Day is a walk or run over 13 laps of Maidenheads Athletic track and the event will run continuously for 13hrs.
Why the number 13? That’s because it’s the number Roger had on his back when he played for Maids.
