Steve Watts Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Right, you lovely people...and the not so lovely ones too...(!) My Uncle, who is a lifelong City fan has been through a little bit of a shite time of it, to say the least. Craig, who has suffered from ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia for over twenty years. He was effectively grounded for much of this time, and couldn't get himself to the Gate, having followed the boys for years home and away. A while ago he started dragging himself down to games, despite knowing that it would wipe him out physically for the next few days. Once the club is in your heart, it's in your heart, eh? Unfortunately that wasn't the end of Craig's issues, and was struck down with an illness last year that has robbed him of his sight, as well as his bowel and bladder functions is doing a sky-dive! He has been robbed of being able to do many things that he was able to, including of course ever seeing the City again. Despite being terrified of heights and having never flown has decided that the first time he gets on a plane he should throw himself out of it at 15,000 feet in order to raise money for the RNIB (Royal National Institute for the Blind) who have been amazing for him and do a wonderful job to help those who have lost a sense that most of us simply take for granted. Craig has been through so much and has been an absolute inspiration to me for a long time, and particularly the last eighteen months. If you would be so kind as to help him reach and soar above his target, or at the very least share this link on your social media, just to at the very least increase exposure I would be extremely grateful and would be helping to make a couple of fellow reds feel very humbled. His story can be found on the link, but I wanted to share a little of it with you first. Thank you all for reading this.... https://www.justgiving.com/Craig-Watts/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=fundraisingpage&utm_content=Craig-Watts&utm_campaign=pfp-share (Mods, if you feel it is appropriate to pin this for a short while that would be awesome, but completely understand if not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiderJar Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Can you let us know when the Sky Dive will be? It's just that with the dodgy bowel and bladder I'd like to be sure I'm indoors at the time. (Donation made). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
