Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This charity is very close to our hearts as a family. Finley and Isla’s dad was blown up in Afghanistan  in 2013. 

This resulted in Kevin Drake sustain multiple injuries with 200 breaks and fractures below both knees, Two shattered heel bones three fractures in his back  and a fractured pelvis. In March 2016 Kevin had to have his left leg amputated below the knee. 

Every year as a family we stand in Aldi and sell poppies, both children would have friends and family help make us knitted poppies that they would sell in school. 

Finley now attends Thomas Adams school in Wem and is in year 7. Isla attends Mount pleasant primary school who is now in year 1. 

This year due to Covid 19, the selling of poppies will not be as high as Previous years. Mount pleasant school are going to support Isla in selling knitted poppies in her year. Finley is taking on the challenge to cycle to his school which is 11 miles and will also be cycling home so will do 22 miles in one day.
