GFCSC Support Fundraiser for Andy Grist

We were delighted to support a recent fund raiser for long time Gills fan Andy Grist. Andy, a regular face at Priestfield, sadly had an accident and has spent a number of months in hospital/rehab after being paralysed from the chest down.

A fundraiser recently took place at the Coop Invicta Club in Chatham, which raised a total of £2,165. This money is to be used to fit a stairlift in Andy’s front garden to enable him to get in and out of his house.

We were delighted to have donated 2 match worn signed shirts from Jimmy-Jay Morgan and Jayden Clarke. The winner of the Jimmy-Jay Morgan shirt generously put it back in the auction. Second time around it raised £80. So Grand total of £180 was raised for both shirts.

We wish Andy every success in his battle, one he will win. We also thank Russ Kimble for collecting the shirts and letting us know about the fundraiser.
