Big thanks to fundraisers

LAST weekend saw the fifth charity football tournament held in the memory of Lee Mairs, a Bredbury man who tragically lost his life whilst on a stag party with a group of pals in Tenerife in June 2012.

The first tournament, which was held at Cheadle Town FC, was organised to help raise funds to help to bring Lee home to rest.

Every year The Lee Mairs memorial fund try to raise much needed funds for a charity of their choice, this year they have raised an amazing £2,000 for The Wellspring.

We would like to thank everyone who took part in the football tournament in memory of Lee.
