Pascoe's 60 Waves & Wonders Grand Tour

Pascoe is turning 60! Could we club together to mark this milestone with something special? Pascoe has spent his life quietly and consistently supporting his family and friends—making us giggle with his antics, join him in his enthusiasm on some kind of mad adventure, offering us words of wisdom when we were stuck. Always quietly kind, generous, always putting others, especially our children, first.

It's been a particularly tough year and Pascoe deserves some care free moments. He has long dreamed of a 'Grand Tour' of beautiful places in Europe, with two places holding a special place in his heart: Italy and Portugal. As well as its unsurpassed veggie food, he is captivated by Italy’s beauty—its art, architecture, landscapes, music and timeless cities—walking the streets of Napoli, Lecce, Rome, Venice, and Florence, listening to beautiful music in amphitheatres and opera houses and dipping into the bottomless turquoise waters of Sardinia, Portofino and Sestri Levante. And then there’s Portugal, where the waves of Sagres call to his adventurous spirit. Surfing the sunlit coasts by the side of a local surfer would be the perfect way to relax and build up vitamin D reserves. No doubt he has dreamt of other travel gems in Europe too.

This fund is to help Pascoe live a dream that he rarely allows himself. Arsenal Womens Team have done their bit, and play Barcelona in Lisbon on Saturday 24th May! With your support, we can help him on a journey he’s always hoped for—filled with wonder, discovery, and time to enjoy.

Every contribution to the 60 Waves and Wonders Grand Tour, no matter how small, brings him one step closer to eating a pastel de nata, looking out to sea from a cliffside in Cinque Terre or riding the surf on Praia de Tonel, Belix and Amado.

If you feel you can spare something to make Pascoe’s 60th birthday a carefree adventure - do chip in. And thank you :) Sophie
