WendronOfficial Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Some within West Cornwall will be familiar with the name Jamie Gray. Jamie was a larger than life character, who was the life and soul of any room he entered. Knowing Jamie, it’s hard to imagine that he had severe problems with his mental health, and last year he lost his battle with it leaving behind a wife and young family. Jamie started his footballing journey with Wendron as a youth player and then went on to play much of his adult playing career with us, also playing for Porthleven and more recently, several years with Mawnan Smith where he was a larger than life character within to their club. Many of us would’ve never had guessed Jamie struggled with his mental health, it just goes to show that we must always check on our mates and loved ones. On 29th August, with Mawnan Smith, we will be hosting a memorial match in honour of Jamie; raising funds for both Man Down - a Cornwall based charity supporting those with mental health problems - and Penhaligon’s Friends who do superb work in supporting young children. Please see the attached poster. Thank you 💙 Thecupfootballblogger, FootballChat, CRD and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendronOfficial Posted August 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Just bumping this. If you can’t make today but would still like to support then you are welcome to donate directly to either charity - who are both local charities doing some wonderful work - on behalf of both Mawnan and ourselves. Alternatively, contact either club to donate through them. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
