Couple’s fourth fun day in support of children’s hospice

Sam and Danny Kerr, who have raised more than £20,000 for Keech Children’s Hospice, are hosting their fourth annual football tournament and family fun day on Saturday, July 11 at Ashlyns School in Berkhamsted.

Baby Lexi was born in September 2011 by emergency C-Section, but due to complications after birth, it soon became clear that she would not survive very long without life support machines.

After 10 days Sam and Danny, of Berkhamsted, made the difficult decision to move their daughter to the hospice where they were able to spend precious time as a family.

This year’s fundraiser, sponsored by The Galleria Hatfield, will start at 10.30am and will include a barbecue provided by Tesco Tring and Berko Astro, Abacus bouncy castles, Football Zorbs, Playplus Kindergarten children’s crafts, children’s rides, a penalty kick competition, Kerries cupcakes, face painting, sweets and much more.

There is an adult’s football tournament and children’s under 7s tournament - to enter teams contact Danny by emailing [email protected]
