Micah Richards Support
Micah Richards shows his support for a the If U Care Share campaign as he has a personal affiliation with the project. In 2005, a childhood friend of the defender, Daniel Nelson, committed suicide at the age of 18, a tragedy that affected the closely-knit community.
Micah and Nelson, as he was known to his friends, played football in the same local team growing up in the Chapeltown area of Leeds, and they shared a passion for football as well as music.
He will continue to be involved with the initiative as specific events are organised to spread the word.
Carroll Family Raise Funds In Memory Of Lewis
Lewis Carroll took his own life in September 2010. Lewis’ family have been supporting IUCSF by raising funds via various fundraising events .
In July,2011 Lewis’ Uncle ran the Sunderland 10Km and raised £827 for our charity. An amazing achievement by Glenn Shaw. Billy & Lynne (Lewis’ parents) & his sister Hayley were then approached by Stagecoach, Sunderland, where Billy works. They held a “Stars in their eyes” event in Millview Club, Sunderland. The evening included some of the Stagecoach staff dressing up and singing to raise funds for us. We wait for the final total but are extremely touched by the kindness of the Carroll family and all their family and friends, and special thanks to everyone who took part in the evening which was a resounding success. Family member Deyl Barrs then contributed by donating the fee from his Boxing Match with proceeds being donated to our charity raising over £300 . Lynne’s Colleague Sue Taylorson arranged a Raffle at Gen Too and donated money to the Charity. In total the families fundraising has now seen the Charity to receive nearly £3,000 in their fundraising efforts. An amazing achievement by a very special Family.
IUCSF would like to say a massive thank you to all involved.
