Elena running for Tom
Posted by Peter Kempe on 3 October 2016
Elena is running the Royal Parks Half on Sunday 9th October 2016 in aid of the Tom Wilson Memorial Fund and Pancreatic Cancer. For details and to donate please go to https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/elena-kaltsas .
As we sadly all know Tom 'Willo' Wilson tragically died following a freak hockey training accident in December last year. He was a key member of the Men's 1st XI team and had come up through the club's junior sides and was a member of the very succesful under 18 teams between 2008 and 2011 including the National Indoor Championship winning team https://youtu.be/g6hwA7P-ODY
After the event it came to light that Tom had signed up to the Organ Donor Register whilst at University. His organs were donated and have since helped save and improve the lives of over 20 people.
The Tom Wilson Memorial Fund was set up to raise money for various donor organisations, concussion research and England Hockey related sporting charities. In addition, Elena hopes to raise as much awareness and encourage as many people as possible to sign up to the Organ Donor Register.
Any donations would be hugely appreciated and it would mean a great deal to both the Wilson family and PCUK.
