Story
Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Emily & I are wanting to raise money for our beloved friend, Neil Vines, who sadly passed away April 2015 at the age of 22. His amazing family have created a charity, The Neil Vines Trust, because when Neil was battling cancer The Teenage Cancer Trust helped him and his family, to make his last moments memorable.
More about the Neil Vines Trust...
It has been established to give young people living with cancer the opportunity to enjoy a special escape with their families.
It is the charity's aim to purchase a lodge in the Cotswolds which will give young people living with cancer and their families the chance to have a special weekend away. This escape from the harsh realities of cancer will give them the opportunity to laugh, relax, explore and create precious memories together.
The Neil Vines Trust has been established in Neil's memory by us, his family. Neil sadly passed away in April 2015 following almost 3 years fighting brain cancer.
The inspiration behind The Neil Vines Trust has come from our own experiences whilst caring for Neil. Many charities helped Neil and the family throughout his battle against cancer by giving us opportunities to spend quality time together, in the form of special weekends away.
He always took part in Mud Runners, Tough Mudders and anything that would challenge him; so we have decided to take part in the Tough Mudder on 19 August.
