Playing hockey in Joyce’s memory
David Winstanley organised a charity ice hockey game in memory of his mum Joyce, who died in 2009. The game took place on what would have been her 62nd birthday.
David said:“My mother, in the early stages of her illness which went undiagnosed for a long time, spent her time driving me miles away from home to Deeside Ice Rink so that I could practice and play the game I loved, because nothing made her happier than seeing her children happy. This is my way of paying tribute to all those great parents out there and a special thank you to my late mother Joyce for all her time spent freezing in the rinks over the years and putting in the miles. I'm forever grateful.”
Conwy Marathon for Sandra
Paul Hulme completed the Conwy marathon, raising £1,248 in memory of Sandra Teece, who died in 2018. Meryl Teece, Sandra’s sister, said: “We all had a fantastic day, although it was very emotional and poignant. We are all so proud of Paul and he has helped to keep Sandra's memory alive. He completed the run in 4hrs 48mins which was an incredible time for him as he has never run a marathon before.”
Marathon run for Margaret
Richard Cowell completed the London Marathon to raise money for PHA UK in memory of Margaret Parsons. Richard said: “It was a completely overwhelming experience and very tough going at times. Margaret's husband and son were there to cheer me over the finish line having previously told me they could not make it, so it was a bit emotional to say the least! So far I have raised over £1000 on JustGiving which I am very pleased about.” AUTUMN 2019 emphasis 38
