Hi All

On 31st January this year, at the grand old age of 42, I was sadly diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. It has been a devestating time for myself, my wife and my 4 children but life must go on when I am no longer here.
I decided to write a "bucket list" of things to do before I die. The first one being the biggest party Liverpool has ever seen. At first it was going to be just that, a party, but my extended family have now decided to make it a fundraiser for my wife and children as I am the only breadwinner in our household. I have now embraced the idea and am trying to raise as much money as possible in the time I have left. This will most likely be the last time I can "earn" an honest crust for my family.

I E-Mailed Mike Wooldridge to ask if there was anything he could donate to my cause. Without hesitation, he has donated a brand new snooker cue. Mike is in the process of making the cue at the moment so I am unsure on spec/weight etc etc so please dont ask!

On the night of the party, guests will be asked if they would like to place £5 in a envelope with their name and phone number/address clearly written on an enclosed piece of paper. At the end of the night, one envelope will be selected and the winner will receive the cue.

I would like to offer all my TSF friends the opportunity to win this superb cue.
If you would like the chance to win the cue, please pay £5 via "paypal gift" to fred.england@sky.com clearly stating your name/address and phone number. I will then include your details in a sealed envelope on the night.

I have been in regular contact with Mike over the last few weeks and I'm sure that at some stage he will verify the legitimacy of this post.

I really cannot thank Mike enough for his generosity. We all know how busy Mike is so to make this kind of gesture has humbled me beyond words. Thanks Mike.

Finally, I would like to thank you all for taking the time to read this post.

Thank you and god bless

Fred England

Ps

I have just received a donation off raymo147 (exquisite cues Scotland) who kindly donated a brand new cue which I have decided to include in the draw. So now you have the chance of either winning a brand new Mike Wooldridge cue or a brand new Exquisite cue. As soon as I receive the cue off Mike I will post all the specifications.
Thank you again and best of luck to all of my TSF friends.

Bumpity bump...

Less than 2 weeks to go and loads of cues in the raffle now. If you haven't already, dig deep!!

I sold this cue + extensions (see link below) last night, the buyer has asked me to sell it again and donate the money to Fred
So 1st person to come up with £275 gets a great cue and more importantly helps Fred out in his quest to look after his family
(UK only please)

Sorry I've been a bit slow getting around to doing this but it's done now. I actually sent two payments please accept the first transfer as a donation rather than an entry to the draw.

All the very best to you and your family, may your days be filled with laughter, love and special memories that live long.
