I was at a lunch at Old Trafford yesterday to raise funds for the Lancaster County Cricket Club Development Association. The special guest was Premier League referee Mark Halsey. If you don't know Mark Halsey and his wife have recently both been battling cancer, Mark had throat cancer his wife leukemia. Thankfully they are both doing really well and Mark is now refereeing again, his wife's leukemia is in remission.
He is now doing sterling work raising funds for the Christie Hospital in Manchester. Later in the year he is planning a fundraising event, again at the home of Lancashire County Cricket Club and the guest speaker will be Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho. It should be in September or October, I will be posting details here as soon as possible.
Mark Halsey was an entertaining and likeable speaker. His fight back to fitness is an inspiration to us all, and I hope to be there again when Jose Mourinho comes over to support him and an extremely worthy cause.
