MacFest

Hi everybody.
I am not sure if this has been mentioned of posted about yet but for any local lads on the forum I thought this may be worth putting out there. I'm sure many have you have read about the tragic death of a young saints fan in a car accident in between soton and romsey. Well due to his girlfriends incredible actions there is a social media movement to start a festival in his honour, and getting Craig David to play there. Please share and get the word out there.

Take a look at @fleurg123's Tweet:
Any helps or support yo spread the world online is appreciated guys.

 

Link to just giving page if any one is feeling generous! He is a local boy and big saints fan, it is at times like this when social media is a thing of beauty.

My grand daughter is already on to it on face book I gather.
Edit as is a few of my friends too......

 

What a tragic accident. Horrible when a life is cruelly cut short like this. Will donate shortly. His girlfriend sounds like a pretty incredible person.

 

Craig David has replied.

 

Good on him.

 

Luke Shaw, amongst others, has got involved and spread to raise awareness. Great stuff.

 

I hope they get what they want from the event. Tragedy.

 

Wow, just went on the page and at 16k already and the target was 5k.

Just shows that people are willing to help if you're willing to reach out. I hope they give him a fitting send off and help to support some good charities. May I suggest MACmillan

 

Switch nightclub in Southampton have offered use of the nightclub to host a fundraising night in his memory.

Other local companies also offering free help in organising the event. Donations still rising.

Craig David, Krept and Konan, Rob Da Bank and Stormzy have all involved themselves.

You can add Matt Le Tissier to that list now, too.

 

You can add Kelvin Davis and José Fonte to that list now as well!

 

You can add pretty much everyone who is anyone in soton to that list! Incredible support shown, proud of the city.

 

Nice they have it a mention on the big screen at the ground yesterday.

What a idiot.

 

Lucky no one else was killed. Any money raised should be used for something positive...perhaps to educate the young about the dangers of drink driving.....though it is hardly a secret.

 

Strange one this. Although idiotic, a young lad has died and left behind a grieving family and girlfriend. A celebration of his life would still be good for the family, but could be seen to glorify drink driving. Such a shame
