Tara Ralphs organised a squash tournament at the Highlands Sports Club this weekend to raise money for Tom.  She rallied a great bunch of people and auctioned off the couples on Friday night at the pub.  They played all of Saturday and gathered afterwards for the prize giving and an incredible dinner.  Tom and I “walked” down to the club last night to be a part of it for a while.  The club is not far from our house and it is easier to just walk/wheel down the road than to load Tom up in the van and harness him in.  This bunch of amazing squash players, many Tom knows and has played against when he was a member, raised a substantial amount of money which more than covered the cost of a reclining massage chair that was brought up from South Africa with the idea of promoting blood circulation and muscle work out for Tom.  (I have also sat on the chair, many times… and feel the purchase was a good one!)

Highlands Sports Club is a special place for Tom, he visits it often with the girls almost every weekend.  They walk down together and spend time on the courts, rollerblading or hitting tennis balls, while Tom urges them on.  They will continue to pop in for sure. 

A special mention to the Bowls Section, who independently added to the total amount raised.  And because of the Bowlers the Club is wheelchair friendly so access is great.  All the ramps are used for their trolleys and now Tom!
