Cymru Leagues referee sets up fundraising campaign for NHS

Cymru Leagues referee Bryn Markham-Jones has begun a fundraising campaign to raise money for NHS Wales during the Coronavirus pandemic. 

The FIFA International standard ref has handcrafted a lego man figure which will be raffled off to raise money for the NHS. 

Moneys received from raffle entries will go towards funding additional items that go over and above what the NHS is providing. 

A number of his refereeing colleagues including John Bryant, Harry Hendricks and Nick Pratt have already made donations. 

On the fundraising page, Markham-Jones says: “I am raffling this handmade Lego figure for Swansea Bay University LHB Charitable Fund and Other Related Charities because they are going above and beyond to keep us safe.”

It has already beaten the original target of £200 and as of April 13 has raised almost £700.

The raffle costs £2 for one entry and a £10 donation gives you five entries.

Last week Aberystwyth Town captain Marc Williams set up a fundraising campaign which has so far raised over £4500 for the NHS staff battling the Coronavirus pandemic. 

Donations can be made to the fundraiser by donating to the JustGiving page set up by Markham-Jones.
