Cancer charity receives Memorial Day donation from cricket club

Downham Stow Cricket Club have presented The Big C Cancer Charity with £1,500.

It came from the proceeds of the Steven Sexton’s Memorial Day, which was held in memory of a special member of the club.

A club spokesman said: “Steven was an incredible part of Downham Stow Cricket Club and is greatly missed by so many of us.

“His presence, friendship and contribution to our club will never be forgotten.”

Big C provided invaluable support to Steven’s family during an incredibly difficult time, helping them as they came to terms with their tragic loss.

“It therefore felt especially fitting that some of the money raised in Steven’s memory should go towards supporting the fantastic work they do for other individuals and families affected by cancer,” added the spokesman.

“We were fortunate enough to be joined by Steven’s parents Lynda and John who helped us pass on the cheque.

“A huge thank you once again to everyone who attended Steven’s Memorial Day, donated, helped organise the event or contributed in any way. Your generosity made this donation possible.”
