John's funeral service / A2OC donation to MND research
Hello all,
John Saunders' (tourangang) funeral service is this Saturday 1st June, 11am at St Georges church, Wembdon
David Adams (Riverlad) is attending to pay respects to John and his family on behalf of A2OC.
Many of us who either met John, or recall his regular presence on the forum remember this smart and resourceful man who bravely fought a debilitating terminal illness and was determined to raise awareness of motor neuron disease to the end. John is survived by wife Sharon and his 2 children Charlotte and Louis. Our thoughts are with them this difficult time.
John owned 2 Audi A2's during his time as a member and he loved the car to bits. I fondly remember helping him by PM when he sold his original TDi to make way for another 'High Spec' example - yes, he had the A2OC modding bug!!
I recall how sad it was when he had to make a decision to sell the second one which had been tastefully 'fettled' by Skipton. It's good to know that the car is still owned by another forum member. I'm sure John liked that!
A collective donation will be made to John's 'justgiving' site at the end of June. All donations made to the A2OC between now and this time will be collated and sent on behalf of the club.
If you would like to make a small ( or large!) donation to this collection, please use the 'donate' button on the right hand side of the forum home page.
We will publish the total donations on 30th June and send this on to John's account. Alternatively; you may wish to donate directly to John's justgiving page:

For anyone who hasn't seen it; here is a link to John's inspiring and moving website which documents his brave and noble battle from diagnosis in 2010 at the age of 44 until his passing last week.
