Clive to do the highest bungee jump in the world

As you know, Clive and Trish are currently in New Zealand, following Lisa’s footsteps across the country she found to be truly amazing.  Whilst she was in Queenstown N.Z, Lisa did a free-fall parachute jump and also the biggest bungee jump in the world from the Nevis high wire of 134 Metres.

The video she sent home is now shown as an inspirational DVD to young people to encourage them to go and live their dreams.

And on Lisa’s 31st birthday, March 15th, Clive will make the jump himself.

As you know, Lisa’s charity to date has raised over £180,000 and changed the lives of some forty young students that it has given bursaries to – young students who have had to demonstrate how they have overcome adversity and why they need additional funding to help them with their educational dreams and ambitions.

If you would like to sponsor Clive by making a donation to the charity, it would be gratefully appreciated if you could use the Gift Aid form below which will enable us to maximize any donation you may make.

£750 raised in two days

On Friday 28th August, friends and family joined together the day after the wedding of Lisa’s brother Ross and his new bride Donna Enticknap for a curry night at the Royal Jaipur in Landford and raised £340 for the charity.

On Saturday 29th August a party was held at Nomansland to celebrate Lisa’s mum, Tricias 60th birthday, her brother Andy’s 50th birthday, and the recent wedding of Ross and Donna.  A signed photograph that had been donated to the Lisa Wilson Scholarship Fund by Celine Dion was raffled and raised £410.

7th Lisa Wilson Golf Day raises over £7500

The 7th Lisa Wilson Golf Day took place on Saturday and, despite the dismal weather, there was a fantastic turn out of over 130 member and four dozen guests to play in the golf competitions.
The prizes were presented to the winners by former Saints legend, John Sydenham, who was over in Southampton on a visit from Australia where he now resides.
Just under 250 people turned up for the evening event to see John present prizes and star cabaret from comedian Mr Mike Osman, which was followed by two great sets from Abba Revival which had the dance floor heaving.
A raffle took place which raised just under £1,000 and the silent auction for sports memorabilia raised a further £450.
The event was a fantastic success with provisional profits for the evening at being over £7,500 which is by far the best total to the Wellow Golf Day.

Many thanks to all concerned, we look forward to seeing you next year when the date has been set for August 21st.

Charity reaches £170,000

The donation from the That’s Life magazine sees the total money raised to date hitting £170,000, a truly remarkable tribute to Lisa’s legacy which continues to help less fortunate young adults achieve their educational dreams and ambitions in the way Lisa did. Lisa was incredibly proud of her BA 2-1 in Business Management that she achieved at Southampton Institute (now Southampton Solent University). She would be incredibly proud to know that to date some 35 students have benefited from the charity that was set up in her memory.

As well as this, a recent raffle organised by the staff at Southampton Solent University raised £176 for the charity.

We would like to thank everyone for their continued support.
