…..in the name of charity.
This morning saw the arrest of four of the UK’s known faces of world snooker. Snooker players Jamie Jones and Stuart Bingham are joined in jail by commentator Rob Walker and Matchroom Sports President Barry Hearn.
Fear not, it’s all in the name of charity. The chosen charity is Jessie May Children’s Hospice at Home and the idea behind this fundraiser is that to leave jail, bail will need to be reached via fundraising. Bail is set by a volunteer judge and must be reached to ensure release.
Jessie May Childrens Hospice at Home, work in the southwest of the UK. The charity provides specialist palliative nursing care at home for children with life-limiting conditions. Jessie May nurses provide palliative care throughout a child’s life, extending their support to provide bereavement care for families following the death of a child.
“Hopefully we’ll get dozens of donations to get us out as I’d rather not stay in a cell for too long! Jessie May is a fantastic charity and the important thing it to raise much-needed funds for them. With Stuart, Rob and Jamie in the same room I’m planning to have some fun as well! Please give generously.” Barry Hearn OBE
