Football teams turn out to play for Jamie

York Evening Press - 13th May 2002

Football teams from across York turned out to play in a tournament dedicated to the memory of Jamie Bucknell.

The six-a-side tournament was organised by long term Bucknell family friends Sandra Long and Pete Miler.

Teams taking part included one made up of teachers from Huntingdon School, where Jamie was a pupil.

Strensall FC, who are managed by Jamie's dad, Keith, entered two teams.

The event raised over £600 for the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young - CRY, which Keith and his wife, Debbie, now work closely with in memory of Jamie.

Keith said:" It was a good day, I enjoyed it.  We are disappointed not to have won, but we were beaten by the Keystones, who went on to be worthy winners.  

"What matters most is the money raised for CRY, we are really pleased about that.

"Pete and Sandra have made a really big effort on this and they both deserve lots of credit for that"

Jamie, aged 14, died of a heart attack last November.  Keith and Debbie set up the Jamie's Have a Heart Appeal in his memory, which bought 12 new portable heart monitors for York District Hospital.

They then pledged their support to CRY.
