Dearest Old friends & new,
Some of you know me some of you don't, but since the tragic news hit us all on Friday about Richard none of us have thought of anything else and we have become a community with thoughts and Prayers for this beautiful family,

Richard was involved in a horrendous motorcycle accident and is currently at St George's in Tooting with possibility of moving him at a later stage to Stanmore in Middlesex where they have specialised care for such injuries.

Richs injuries are life changing, And everyone is praying for that glimmer of hope. Rich will be undergoing surgery to repair the damaged vertebra in the next couple of days, with possible further surgery in the future. Rich has a long road ahead of him, he is a fit and strong young man with his whole life still in front of him, with his friends and family at his side we will all be there for every moment to support, listen do every thing we can to make life that little bit less stressful for Rich, Hannah, Kaiden and their new unborn child.

Hannah, I have known for many years and Hannah picked me up when I was ill, supported me through thick and thin and now I would like to reciprocate.

So many kind generous people have come forward with offers of help, food, money. You name it. To get these beautiful people through this tragic time in their lives. To help take the stress from Hannah financially to help put pennies by for when Rich is allowed home.

So by starting this fund I hope that people that want to help Rich and his family can do so in more ways than one.

No one likes asking for money and receiving it can be hard also.

But I'm asking as a friend to this lovely couple, to help Rich with his Rehabilitation, medical needs, to get Hannah through the months ahead, for Kaiden, Rich's little boy and for their unborn bundle of joy due later this year

I thank you all for reading and taking time out.

With lots of love and prayers for Richard
