A Message from Dave and Lorraine When Lorraine & I first started the charity, to grant Oakley his wish, we never expected that 12 years on, it would have achieved as much as it has.

love the ideas and sporting theme of so many events for the benefit of the charity. From running, cycling, to bush tucker trials, coffee mornings, raffles and everyone to take part in.

We know Oaks is smiling down on us all and watches over us with each event that we do. The idea of the boxing event was a dream of Lee’s. He has supported Lorraine and I in everything we’ve done.

Team Oak’s have been unbelievable, based at Bally's gym. As boxing professionals they have all made the lads welcome and put them through their paces to make sure they are properly prepared and able to put on a great event tonight. Special thanks to Micheal Ballingall, Lee Burchill, Gavin Jones and our own coaching team of Paul Miles, Kev McCormack and my brother Lee Waterman Finally, Lorraine and I would like to thank everyone for keeping Oaks wish alive. We could not have achieved it without people like you.
