The trustees of The Adam Stansfield Foundation who include Adams wife Marie and other family members are pleased to announce that Premiership Referee Mark Halsey had kindly agreed to be Patron for the foundation. The purpose of the foundation is to help support youth football in Devon and Somerset and also seeks to raise awareness about cancer. Various fundraising plans are under way with football fans all over Devon and Somerset regardless as to their respective clubs through shirt auctions, sponsored events and collections.
Chairman of the foundation Andy Cole said “ All of us involved with the Foundation are very proud and honoured that Mark has kindly agreed to become our Patron. We are in the early stages of planning how the foundation will work and we are currently working with the charities commission in registering the foundation, having Mark onboard with us will help us promote the work of the foundation and raise cancer awareness.”
“ I am pleased to be able to offer what support I can to Andy and the Trustees” said Referee Mark Halsey who has fought his own battle with this terrible disease. “Although I am based many miles away I want to take an active role where possible, if through supporting this cause I can help with youth football and raise awareness about cancer then this will be time well spent.”
