Dear generous donors On behalf of Simon’s family, we want to say how much we appreciated your support during this extremely difficult and devastating time. Your deeds, words and memories about Simon have lifted us up. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. As you may have seen, together we more than surpassed the initial crowdfunding target of £2,000 to create a legacy Fund in Simon's name. After all the pledges have come in and the fees have been deducted we will confirm how much was raised in an update next week. If all the pledges are honoured, this campaign will have raised over £6k. We have continued fundraising for the fund via this new link http://bit.ly/1YLrVlz which is on Virgin Money Giving charitable site, and your donations will be set up as gifts towards Simon’s legacy fund via Awards for Young Musicians. On behalf of our "Angel Boy" Simon thank you so much for being part of the first campaign. Amazing. Love and Hugs xxx https://www.facebook.com/CelebratingSimon

We more than made the target - Thanks to your generosity, Simon's legacy will not only provide the means for other young people to have the chance to learn the violin and enjoy the power of making music, but also inspire other young people to give back to their communities. Love!

Thank you so much Joshua & Family, JM and Marigold. Our hearts go out to you as well -- for your thoughtfulness, kind wishes and generosity. xx

A Very Warm Welcome and Thank you to our new donors: Ben, Liz, Ross Family, Helen, Leydon Family, Jenny, Sonia, Timza & Children. This is wonderful - xoxo
