Story
Paralympian and Invictus medal winner Gaz Golightly and his young family needs your help.
I met this lovely young couple through my volunteer work and they have now become friends.
When you have a young family you want to be able to travel to events together as any family would! However,due to all the equipment Gaz has as an amputee with wheel chairs and sports equipment needed to compete the family are unable to do this at present and means that one or all of the children cant go to support their Hero their Dad. Friends and family are left to provide childcare. So to enable the family to travel together a trailer is needed and a tow bar so that the family can all go together! The cost of which is approx £1500 and £700 has been raised already by friends and family and a further £800 is needed.
PLEASE CAN YOU HELP!
You can read all about Gaz in the Evening Chronicle article of 16th May

Gaz served this country with honour and pride and would still be doing so if tragic events had not put a halt to his army career. Instead he now represents his country with honour and pride.
Its your turn to make a difference to him and his family! Please even if its only £1 they all add up as the saying goes and it all counts towards the target.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
Any funds above the amount needed raised will be donated to help local servicemen and women both serving and veterans
