AC/BC is fundraising for Gary who has been the lifeblood of the group for the last 8 years, spending a huge amount of time making sure the group runs well and free from scammers.

Gary moved from England to Newcastle when he was 7 & has lived there since, the last 30 years with his partner Katrina Thurston.

He has 4 children and 5 Grandchildren.

Funds raised will be given directly to Gary for medical expenses.
