In Derek’s Memory

Thank you for visiting this fundraising team page set up in memory of our brother Derek who suddenly and tragically died on the 27th March 2022.

Not one for recognition or ceremony, Derek's family are honouring his wish to not have a funeral. Therefore, in lieu of flowers or other gestures of sympathy we have set up this fundraising page "In Derek's Memory".

We encourage you to visit our 3 chosen charity fundraising pages via the hyperlinks below, to help us continue his legacy of giving.

It is our hope that through your kind donations another person's death may be preventable, and another family will not have to go through the grief and trauma that we are experiencing.

We have selected three charities and set an ambitious target of raising £2,500 for each one :

MIND - mental health awareness and support

The Samaritans – suicide prevention and awareness

https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/in-dereks-memory3

Severn Freewheelers EVS (Blood Bikes) - a charity Derek co-founded.

https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/in-dereks-memory1

We welcome your choice and would encourage you to donate any amount you can afford to one, two, or all three of the above.

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit our page. Please consider sharing this page to help us reach our fundraising target in Derek's Memory.
