<div>Today, members of our community came together in Wallsend to see off the Knights, and sadly, what should have been a special day turned into a devastating situation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re asking our community to come together and support those who have been affected and their families during what is undoubtedly an incredibly difficult time. Funds will go to the below and their families.

</div>
<ul>
<li>Two five year old girls, one in critical condition.
</li>
<li>A two year old girl.
</li>
<li>A 31 year old woman.
</li>
<li>A 48 year old man.
</li>
<li>A 24 year old man.
</li>
<li>A 63 year old man.
</li>
<li>A 25 year old man.
</li>
<li>A 67 year old man in critical condition.
</li>
<li>And a 57 year old man,

</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have set a fundraising goal of $100,000 to help provide financial assistance to those injured and their families, helping with medical expenses, recovery costs, travel, accommodation, and other unexpected expenses that may arise during their recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser can help us reach people who may be able to contribute.
</div>
<div>Whatever donated will be split equally between the families.
</div>
<div>Let’s come together as a community and show the people affected that they are not alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you to everyone who donates, shares, and supports this fundraiser.
