Use of donations
30 December 2022Hi everyone, we want to share what Mike's wishes were for the kind donations given. We put the money towards a cricket trophy for Te Atatu cricket club for best performing left hander, this will be Mike's legacy for his beloved club and sport. We will be proud to be present for the inaugural winner. There was also a donation towards the "after match event" as per Mike's wishes. Money on the bar at the Lincoln green for us all to toast a drink (or two) to Mike after his funeral on the 7th December (thanks to Niall who also contributed). Then we also donated a significant amount to Waipuna hospice who made Mike's last few days the most magnificently comfortable and well cared for as can be. They also allowed his beloved daughter, girlfriend and sister to be by his side every second of his last few days and they cared for us as well as they cared for him. Hugs were given generously, doctors advice valuable, and patience as we loudly sang Sweet Caroline as we sat beside him after he passed. Bless you all for all your kindness. I wish us all to be surrounded by the love, care and respect that Mike was in his passing xxxx
