On Friday 14th July we are having an own clothes day with the intention of showing support to the Meakin family and raising funds for what is tragically going to probably be their final holiday as a family. Kai, who left Friesland Sixth Form after A Levels last year, has terminal cancer.
The local community and especially Ilkeston Rutland Cricket Club have already hosted a fundraising event and we are looking to add to this.
Given the choice, Kai lives in a football shirt and shorts all the year round so we thought it would be suitable to encourage children and adults alike to do something similar – hence the sports and shorts theme.
