Hi I'm Tilly's dad and glad you have visited our site. I'm absolutely astounded at the response and offers of help from all sorts of people from as far away as Australia!

Debbie, Oliver, myself and Tilly thank you all so much for the support and love you've shown.

Thanks largely to the efforts of Paul & Nicole Dennis and Dave Cussack the event raised a staggering £5000 for the Appeal Fund!

Thanks to all the players and spectators that turned out on the day to make this possible.  Despite the Cherry Tree Select going into half time 1-0 down, the game turned around in the second half and the Cherry were 3-1 winners at the end of 90 very long minutes! Among the ex-proffessional's that turned out were:

Justin Edingbrough
Peter Taylor
David Crown

The auction event after the game proved to be a great success and included:

Signed David Beckham England Shirt                     £1250
Signed Paul Scholes Man Utd Shirt                         £500
Signed Sugar Ray Leonard Glove                            £350

Thanks to everyone involved.

What a great event at Basildon Football Club

A charity football match was the order of the day and what a turn out, it was spectacular to see. Thanks guys for all your help in raising £5,000 for Tilly.
