On Saturday I had the pleasure of meeting Jacqui Gentleman, founder of the Jamie G Sporting trust, in loving memory of her son Jamie who died suddenly on 15th March 2009 from Dilated Cardiomyopathy.
Jacquie came to see me at The Dress Boutique in search for a dress to wear to the Jamie G Gala Ball on 2nd October, and to discuss ways in which I could help the charity...
Jamie was well-known in Andover for being a keen Sportsman, from a very early age he showed that he was a natural all round Sportsman...Football, Darts, Fishing, Golf, Rugby Taekwondo to name but a few. Even more importanly he approached all these sports with the same fierce but fair Sportsmanship. He enjoyed his sport, he would be the first to hold his hand out if he won or if he lost, so kind, so gentle and a true Gentleman through name and nature.
‘The Jamie G Sporting Trust has been established to preserve the memory, and reflect the personality, of Jamie Gentleman, a young, competitive, Andover sportsman, who demonstrated the highest standards of team spirit and sportsmanship.
The purpose of the Trust will be to raise funds from charitable donations and to distribute them in support of sporting activities for the young of the Andover area. The beneficiaries will be individuals, sports clubs and other sporting organisations.’
The Jamie G Sporting Trust Gala Ball will be taking place on Saturday 2nd October 2010 at The Wolversdene Club, Andover, and The Dress Boutique has agreed that for every dress hired from us for this event, we will donate £10 to the charity.
