James Michael Hardie

Hi, my name is Sarah & I’m fundraising for my one of a kind, big brother.

To say we are all absolutely devastated to lose our biggest character at the young age of 35 would be an understatement. Words truly cannot describe how missed Jamie will be. How loved he was & forever will be. He really was one of a kind & he loved his children more than anything!

His children have sadly lost their dad in a terrible accident. The upcoming months & years are going to be so challenging in every aspect of life & I want to do anything I can to help put some money in a fund for their futures, any help they may need when growing up & to make sure they do not go without.

The children all have very close family around them & we all have some amazing friends but one thing I’m sure would help in this tragic situation, would be to relieve some financial pressure for their future. This is a very difficult time to ask for funding with bills, mortgages, rent & just the cost of living being increased so much but anyone that knew Jamie, knew how big his heart was. He would have given a stranger his last £1 if it would help them. So even if you are a total stranger but want to help a family through the worst time of their lives please give what you can

I also want to raise money to spread mental health awareness. I want to be able to help mental healthy charities make a difference in Jamie’s name, to make sure other people do not get failed. I will be putting on fundraising events over the next year & hopefully for years to come. People need help, & if it’s the last thing I do I want to make sure I do what I can so that others don’t have to feel the way I do.

Thirdly I wish to raise funds for his memorial. We want to plant a tree that everyone can visit for years to come. Jamie loved nature & the outdoors & it seems only right that part of him be placed with the earth.

We have suffered a huge loss. The biggest loss & if I can raise anything at all, I will be forever grateful.

Thank you for all the love & support x
