Story
Thank-you for visiting the fundraising page in memory of James "CountB" Savage, who passed away on 30th December 2006. There will be a fundraising nightclub event on Saturday 27th January. We are also continuing to compile a photo album of James - you can upload your photos here.
James' parents Bill and Hazel, and fiancée Sarah, have asked that those wishing to make a gesture in James' memory donate to the Jennifer Trust for Spinal Muscular Atrophy, which provides support for those suffering from James' disability and their families, plus research into treatments and special equipment.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate: The Jennifer Trust for SMA will receive your money electronically and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in Gift Aid will be added to your donation at no cost to you.
Many thanks for your support.
For more information, or to pass messages to James' family or fiancée, please email his friend from college/university days, Andrew Oakley andrew@aoakley.com or see Andrew's LiveJournal.
