Fundraiser For Ex-NCEL Player
8th July, 2008
A charity fundraiser takes place this weekend for a former NCEL player who's been diagnosed with a brain tumour.
29-year-old Simon Hennessey, who played for Retford United, has learned that the tumour cannot be removed and that only a period of treatment can help to control his condition.
A fun day has been arranged for this Sunday to raise money from him and his young family.
It is taking place at Sherwood Fields, Edwinstowe, Mansfield, Notts and activities start at 10.30am until 3pm.
As well as a match between ex-Robin Hood Colts players, there is Mini Soccer for Boys and Girls, and a fancy dress game between Tramps and Tarts.
There will also be raffles, a memorabilia auction, various stalls, inflatable play equipment, a barbecue and much more.
