Mark Wells
Friends and family of Mark Wells gathered at the Robin Hood Pub to hand over a cheque to Karen Eeles from the hospice fundraising team this week.
Following a event at the pub in memory of Mark a total of £2,555 was raised, far more than had been needed to buy and dedicate a tree in Mark’s memory at the Medina Aboretum.
Mark’s father Kev is pictured with the tree, which is just on the way into the IW Festival site. The dedication plaque reads: “Mark Wells ‘Wellsy’ 1977 – 2009. Forever at the Festival.” Kev said:
“The family and friends of Mark Wells would like to thank everyone who contributed and made possible the fundraising event held in Mark’s memory,”
“The total amount raised was £2,555.00. The cost of the memorial tree was £329.00 and remaining £2,226.00 has been donated to the Earl Mountbatten Hospice. There were no expenses incurred.
“We would like to thank all of the local businesses and individuals who donated raffle prizes and contributions to the event, everyone who attended and those who purchased raffle tickets.”
