In May of this year The Davies Partnership in Chester held a Charity Golf Day in which colleagues, clients and friends came together to support Milly’s Smiles and The Brain Tumour Charity.
This was done in memory of a very special young man, Bobby Spencer. Bobby was diagnosed and treated for a brain tumour at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, and it was there that he received his Milly Bag. Bobby’s brave family chose Milly’s Smiles as one of the charities they wished to support.
Our Chair of Trustee’s Gemma went along to the event to represent the charity and to talk about our work and the difference we make to families like Bobby’s. Gemma was fortunate to meet Bobby’s parents and she was left with a lasting impression of how incredibly brave and dignified they are in dealing with their loss of their precious son.
The actual day was blessed with lots of sunshine and 21 teams took to the course. Following on from the golf there was an auction where there was an exciting battle to win a Jurgen Klopp shirt!
It was clear to see how much hard work and organisation went into the event, and we were very blessed to have been supported by this amazing team.
Last week Gemma and I met up with Tony and Jessica from The Davies Partnership where they handed over a cheque for £13,055, we also received a donation of £500 which was match funded by Lloyds Bank. A further donation was received from Radium Security Systems taking the grand total raised to an incredible £14,310.00!
A huge thank you to everyone involved, this is just incredible and will allow us to now start looking at securing another hospital to support. Every penny really makes such a difference to us.
A special mention goes to Bobby and his family, whilst we are incredibly grateful for this support, it comes because a family has lost their precious son, and that can never be celebrated. We send all our love and support to Bobby’s parents and siblings and we will always keep Bobby in our hearts and thoughts.
