SOME VERY SAD NEWS AND A REQUEST

Hello chums, I hope you are well. You may have noticed I've been a little quiet online the past few days. The picture is of my brother in his first week as a truck driver driving my R500, Bruce, when he came to work for Virginia and spent a week with me learning the ropes! Its breaks my heart to tell to that at 9am on Saturday morning he died when his heart failed in hospital after being admitted with pneumonia. He had been ill for a year or so but this was a bolt out of the blue that has left us devastated. He seemed to be getting better. I tried to make a video for this request but I couldn't hold it together long enough to get many words out. He was 32 years old and leaves two young children.

So heres the request, the care he has had over the past year has been brilliant, so I have decided to try and raise some money in his memory to help people in the area he lived who need care like he did. So me and the whole family would be so pleased if you could donate anything you could afford. It would make such a big difference to know that something good no matter how small could come from this tough time. So thank you so much for taking the time to read me waffling on! I shall try to return to daft silly video Luke as soon as possible, but just give me a little time. Thanks so much everyone x

Oh and I'd like to leave you with one thought, let those closet to you know how you feel about them. I would give everything I own just to be able to ring him one last time and tell him what I feel. Never take anyone you love for granted.
