Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I was performing on the 19th march in Belfast. I was informed that there was a fan that was terminally ill that might not make through the show as they had been having a bad helath week and was asked if I could do a short meet and greet with them before the show. It was then I had the pleasure of meeting Ballie and his family.

Although he was unwell, he hadn't allowed it to dampen his spirits and he was chatty ( to the point of insult given my arsenal shirt ) and in high spirits for the show. He managed to stay for the entire show and I was able to celebrate a championship win with him, a memory I will keep as long as I live.

sadly, Ballie passed away just 2 days later from the osteosarcoma ( bone cancer ) he was ill with.

His family have reached out to tell me how much that sunday meant to Ballie and how much the charity "Angel Wishes" has done for them. This is the reason I'm raising these funds and would love your support.
