Supporting good causes is a recurring theme in this week’s Gazette.
Brookin Johnson’s mum Jackie is hoping to raise £160,000 to get her son specialist treatment so he can walk again.
Friends of Stuart Aitken, who was injured in a crash in Majorca, hope to raise money to repatriate him.
And the wife of the late Ashley Jones, who bravely battled cancer, is heading to Iceland to trek for St Helena Hospice who supported Ashley.
All three are worthy causes, showing our community coming together to support each other.
It shows how we pull together in times of tragedy.
