4. LITTLEHAMPTON ... "JAMIE’S WISH" EVENT [ 30th June ]

The town of Littlehampton (W Sussex) turned out in force to help celebrate "Jamie’s Wish" ... a fundraising event in aid of the Joshua Foundation.

Jamie was sixteen when he went to Lapland with his family courtesy of the Joshua Foundation in 2004. The whole family had a fabulous time on the trip, so Jamie vowed to raise money for the Foundation ... as his way of saying thanks ! He was so determined that he spent much of his time when not receiving treatment at the Royal Bristol Hospital planning the big event. Unfortunately , brave Jamie died just two weeks before the event date. However, the family, together with his friends were so determined that his wish should be fulfilled ... that the event went ahead as planned.

Pat & Adrian represented the Foundation at the event ... and what a time was had by all. A series of events took place in a local pub ... despite the horrendous weather.. including flower & book stalls , food stalls and many gaming events. Local musical groups entertained the attendees , and good fun was abundant. The highlight of the afternoon was the "PUB OLYMPICS" ... with throwing the discus (beer mats), throwing the javelin (cocktail sticks) and putting the shot (peanut ) ... and an ‘egg & spoon race’ around the town. The Town Mayor .. assisted by Pat Cornelius ... presented the medals to the winners.
