Help Sharif get to America

Our friend Sharif, a true gentleman and Leeds hospitality legend has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer. We are still all in shock and still can’t believe it.

It has been truly amazing to watch all Sharif’s family & friends come together at this difficult time to ensure he has all the support and care he deserves.

Sharif would really love to be able to visit his brother’s family in Tampa Florida and I have therefore decided to create this page to see if together we can fundraise this money to give him this opportunity while we can. We would need to ensure he is travelling first class to make sure he is comfortable, and his care needs are being met on this long flight.

I know Sharif is loved by many, whose lives he has touched with his infectious smile and warm greeting. Any money raised that is surplus to this initial goal will be given to his family.

Thank you in advance to everyone who donates, no matter how small. Let’s show Sharif just how much respect we all have for this amazing guy.
