THE FINAL EVER POOLBALL CHALLENGE IN AID OF ST VINCENTS HOSPICE HOWWOOD
Friends
After a break in 2019 I'll be attempting the FINAL EVER Poolball Challenge this June which, as always, will be in aid of St Vincents Hospice, Howwood.
At Christmas 2016 I potted 5000 poolballs in under 24 hours
At Christmas 2017 I potted 6000 poolballs in under 24 hours
At Christmas 2018 I potted 7000 poolballs in under 24 hours
So after a year off last Christmas, this year I will be attempting to pot a back-breaking 8000 poolballs over 36 hours at Midton Bowling Club Howwood starting at 12 noon on Friday 11th of June 2021 and aiming to finish before midnight on Saturday 12th of June 2021.
Covid-19 has hit us all hard with many charities missing out on many fundraising opportunities so now, more than ever, St Vincents Hospice needs our help!
If I can raise £2131.93 this June, then over the 4 years of The Poolball Challenge, I’ll have raised £15,000 for St Vincents Hospice and that is ALL down to your generosity.
Sadly, last year my son Greg's friend Sean's father Tommy spent his final days in the hospice and Sean's family said the care he received there was EXCEPTIONAL so this has made me even more determined to bring the old pool cue out one last time to do what I can to help St Vincents.
I'm afraid as we all get older we hear of more and more people that we know personally being taken into the Hospice and that's HEARTBREAKING, so ANY AMOUNT you could donate to the Poolball Challenge would greatly help the hospice to help families at what must be the most difficult of times any family has to face.
I know moneys tight folks, especially after the Covid-19 induced uncertainty of the last year, but ANYTHING you could donate will bring me closer to the target.
Once again, Arnold Clarks have said when I reach £1000 of donations, they will match that so thanks again to them.
Please donate though my Just Giving page (link below) and believe me when i say St Vincents Hospice thanks EACH and EVERY one of you for EVERY donation you make.
All my Howwood mates, I’ll be in touch soon to sort out referees so please make yourselves available (you know who you are)
My friends, thanks for reading this and hopefully donating as kindly as you have done on the last 3 Poolball Challenges.
Your kindness and support for The Poolball Challenge and the hospice has been OVERWHELMING!!!!!!!
Already some of my workmates have said they’ll come down and support me at the bowling club over the 36 hours of the event, if you’re out and about, PLEASE pop in and give me a bit of support..
Trust me when I say, I’ll need all support and cheering on I can get!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH
LETS FINISH ON A HIGH AND BLOW THE 15 GRAND OUT OF THE WATER!!!
