Story

I am raising pennies in the name of my dad also known as Tony or Monkey, who recently passed away from Cancer. He wouldn’t want flowers he would rather help people wherever he can, because he was that type of person he didn’t have much but would of given you the world. He started his career at a very young age by joining the Merchant Navy and sailing the seven seas seeing the world. He even did his bit by going out to the Falkland War back in 1982. He loved life, his family and playing golf wherever he could, so much so he moved out to Sunny Spain to live his dream. He was surrounded by some fabulous friends and family living his dream, then sadly he got Cancer then life was just not fair and dad grew his Angel Wings.. Please can I ask you donate whatever you can in my dads name to help so many people that need it, we don’t actually realise how much we need the merchant navy with out them food, drink medicines and all your gadgets would not get to us… So night night dad sleep tight love you to the moon and back god bless xxxxxxx
