I am donating these model designs on behalf of Eddie Newman.
Eddie Newman is my father in law and although you might not have heard of him he is still my hero.
Throughout his life Eddie has been a staunch family man who worked hard to provide for his family, Eddies family always comes first often at the cost of the little free time that he had.
For the majority of his working life he laboured long hard hours in a hot and noisy paper mill, often taking on shift work simply to make sure that his family didn’t do without and to ensure that his children had the best possible start in life.
Soon after retiring Eddie was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and it was heart breaking to see this big strong man being reduced to a shuffling shaking shadow of his former self.
Hopefully a cure will be found for the terrible affliction and then other heroes like Eddie won’t have to suffer.
