Simon Miller 20th Anniversary Memorial

Hi, my name is Jon and I’m fundraising to help mark the 20th anniversary of the death of my younger brother Simon, who was killed in action in Iraq on the 24th June 2003, whilst serving with the British Army in the Royal Military Police. My brother and 5 of his Military Police colleagues were ambushed and brutally murdered in an Iraqi police station, an incident which was high profile at the time, and one that my family have never had closure or justice for Simon, yet have fought tirelessly for it over the years. Simon was only 21 years old when he died, almost the same amount of time has passed since he was tragically taken from us, and as a family we have never been able to celebrate his life properly. As this year marks the 20th anniversary of his death, we want to do something significant to celebrate Simon’s life. Football was his passion so I am organising a bells and whistles memorial football match in his honour and memory. Whilst some things to support the event have been donated, the event cannot take place without cost, particularly when it comes to facilities, staffing, catering, advertising etc, therefore, in order to make this event as spectacular as it deserves to be, and without compromise, I am reaching out to your good nature and generosity to help fund it and make it a success. Thank you so much, Jon
