Hello, my name is George Lees and in June 2020, I lost my Uncle, Chris Lees.

Chris was out cycling in the Lancashire countryside when he suffered a heart attack and, despite the excellent efforts of North West Air Ambulance, he sadly passed away.

Chris was a well known member of the Wrea Green and wider Lancashire community, known for his love of family, the village he lived and enjoying a beer in the local “institute” - or as Uncle Chris called it - The Toot.

Chris was the best uncle any lad could have wished for. Sharing our love for the Blues Brothers, AC/DC and Blackpool FC!

He is dearly missed by everyone who knew him. 

In April, I am competing in my first ever cycling event and will be doing it in my uncles name while raising money for the NWAA. 

The new Forest classic is a 92km event taking place on 11th April. 

Please spare anything you have to donate to this charity, it is an organisation that gives so much for so little and has had a profound impact on not only my family but many more over the North West. They carry out life saving work every single day, and it is crucial that they have the funds to do this.

Thank you,

George
