Steve Plunkett, Lotus Cars Global Bodyshop Programme Manager, is giving his fundraising efforts for The Norfolk Hospice an extra push by auctioning off some football memorabilia.
He has set up a JustGiving page and is hoping to raise upwards of £4,500 for the hospice, which offers support, guidance and care to those with life-limiting illnesses.
Central to his efforts, Steve and family friend Ben Pascoe are running the London Marathon on 2 October. It will be Steve’s third time, after previously taking part in 2006 and 2007.
However, to raise further funds, he has agreed with Brisley Bell pub to make The Norfolk Hospice their charity of the month, and has also auctioned off two golf fourballs.
Steve also has various football memorabilia to auction, such as a signed Todd Cantwell shirt, a Welsh football shirt signed by stars including Craig Bellamy, a Spurs training top signed by Paul Stewart, a signed Kings Lynn FC shirt too and something from Lotus too.
He said, “We also have about 15 charity pots out at various locations locally and will be spending tomorrow rattling buckets outside the local and will be doing the same at a future Kings Lynn FC home match. So we are certainly trying to generate as much money as we can.
“A big thank you to everyone who has helped us so far, and we’d be grateful to anyone else who would like to support this worthy cause.”
