Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have set up this page in loving memory of one of the best people I have ever had the privilege to meet.

I first met Guy, when I was about 10/11 years old. I remember him coming down to my aunts yard, with his sister Holly, and his parents. As soon as we met, we instantly sparked a friendship, and over the years we have shared some brilliant memories that I'll treasure forever. A couple to say the least were near death experiences involving the infamous Punto and tractors!! 

Guy had this brilliant aura about him, wherever he went he would always brighten someone's day and that is something I've always admired about him. He had so many wonderful traits and was able to complete any task to absolute perfection. He just seemed to have the nack! It's safe to say that anyone who ever had the chance to meet Guy, will have also had their hearts touched by him too.

Unfortunately, he very sadly passed away after losing his battle to brain cancer on the 21st February 2014, aged 22. 

Myself, his sister Holly and a few of Guys friends are going to do a Skydive and run Tough Mudder in order to raise money for Clic Sargent. Although I am extremely nervous (to say the least!) to jump out of a plane, I can hear Guy using his catch phrase "Crack On", which has definitely spurred me on.

Clic Sargent are an absolutely fantastic charity, and really have gone the extra mile in providing care and support for not only Guy, but his family too. I feel that raising this money for the charity will help other families in similar situations, whether it helps provide further care/research or structural development of wards, I know it will mean a great deal to other families, just as it did to Guy and his family. I truly believe everyone in Clic Sargent really does go the extra mile and therefore should also be recognised for their hard work. 

I truly appreciate every donation, and as the ol' saying goes "every penny counts"..

Thank you!
