Title: Holte End Abseil for Villa Foundation
Post by: Dogtanian on July 31, 2022, 06:10:30 PM: Just wanted to say a big thankyou to everyone who kindly sponsored us.

Like a few others, on here my dad, a life-long Villa fan, suffered from dementia. A big part of my childhood memories are watching Villa with him or listening to the game on the radio and the phrase ‘come on you lions!’ will always remind me of my dad.

So, thankyou again!

The Slimer away shirt has been with us through charity bike rides and dragon boat races, but they’re getting a bit worse for wear now.

The Villa Foundation have said they’ve raised about £7.5k in total for the Dementia Cafe, which is fantastic.
