Making Memories for Kieran
Hello I'm James,
Many Thanks to the people who have donated, I will now have 2 teams of 8 completing this challenge.
It is with a heavy heart the reason why I'm having to do this.
Around 2 weeks ago we received some sad news about one of the most genuine people I know. On this day, myself and the members at Rochdale Cricket Club found out that Kieran Stansfield had been diagnosed with cancer. Kieran had been to the doctors about 4 weeks ago where he was told he had 4" tumor on is lung; this turned out to be around 10 weeks old. On Wednesday 29th July the doctors delivered the worst possible news that it has spread into his bones as well. The Doctors have advised him that without treatment he will only have 6 moths with us. If Kieran decides to undergo treatment there is a possibility of extending this time-frame.
Kieran is 51 and has been following the Rochdale Cricket Club (THE DALE) home and away since the age of 4. Kieran has 3 boys who he's managed to drag to most games by bus, train, old vans and lifts with players. He's always got them there and he hasn't missed a Rochdale Cricket Club game at home or away for 12 years. Rochdale takes up a massive place in his heart He has a meeting tomorrow ( 31st July) regarding shrinking tumor.
On Wednesday 29th July I have decided to undertake a challenge to raise funds for Kieran. We want him to take his family away and make the most of the up and coming tough months ahead, MAKING MEMORIES IS OUR MAIN GOAL .
The funds will be used to aid Kieran and his family to have the most memorable time possible. The urgency of this is paramount and timing is of the essence.
Please can I thank you all in advanced !
