Signed Wolves shirt raises thousands for charity in raffle
A kind-hearted Wolves fan has raised thousands for Dementia UK by raffling a signed shirt.
Manny Singh Kang, a volunteer ambassador for Dementia UK, aged 47, from Ettingshall Park in Wolverhampton, has been fundraising for the charity for the past two years.
So far he has raised almost £70,000.
In his latest fundraising event, Manny is giving other supporters a chance to win a signed, match worn shirt from Wolves player Ruben Neves.
Manny said: "Ruben Neves' partner, Debora Lourenco, did an auction for this shirt on her Instagram, to raise funds for a young boy, Tomas Leal in Portugal who needed urgent cancer treatment.
"I bid and won the auction and collected the shirt from Ruben himself.
"But, I never keep any memorabilia I receive or win, and this was a rare shirt of a much loved player that could raise funds for Dementia UK.
"Including the auction and now this raffle we have raised £3000 for this shirt alone. The winner will be drawn on Sunday night 7pm.
"The total raised over the last two years for Dementia UK is now approaching £70000.
"The fans are incredible when it comes to giving back. I thank everyone of them."
Some of Manny's past fundraising endeavours include running marathons and selling samosas.
Entries to the raffle cost £2 per go, to enter, visit the JustGiving page and leave the word raffle in your donation.
The winner will be drawn on October 11 at 7pm and notified.
