Please read the message below from Pip Ealey-Newman, mother of our players Ben and Josh..
In February I am walking 10,000 steps a day for Brain Tumour Research in memory of my father and Ben #78 and Josh's #63 grandad Gerald Ealey.
Ben and Josh never got to meet their grandfather as he was taken from us by a gliomablastoma brain tumour in 1996 . I want to help find a cure for brain tumours so other families don't have to suffer like mine has.
Brain tumours are indiscriminate , they can affect anyone at any age . They kill more children and adults under 40 than any other cancer. Brain tumour research is the only national charity in the UK that is dedicated to raising funds for continuous and sustainable scientific research into brain tumours and they are leading the way calling for greater support and action for research .
Please join me in supporting such a worthy cause , your donation will make an impact whatever you can spare , will you help fund this fight ? So we can find a cure together.
The fundraising link for Facebook is https://www.facebook.com/donate/621958155701270/ this will put you straight to my fundraising page.
If you don't have Facebook you can follow this link - www.braintumourresearch.org/donation/paying-your-money-in and attach a note with my name - Pip Ealey-Newman so the funds are correctly allocated.
Thanks again to everyone who threw cash in the special donation buckets round the rink tonight too.
Thank you so much from Pip , Ben#78 and Josh#63 Ealey-Newman
