Roy Castle Fund
We were asked recently to print t shirts for a fund raising event for the charity set up in memory of the great entertainer Roy Castle, it was a pleasure to do them!
It was for the Roy Castle Fund is affiliated to Cancer Research UK.
I met Roy Castle back in the old days (when I was a teenager), he was very down to earth and very much like the character we used to see in his ‘Record Breakers’ programme.
He was very brave and true to his character he set up his own charity ‘The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation’ (nothing to do with the Roy Castle Fund) before tragically dying of cancer related to breathing in second hand smoke, (he was a non smoker).
I’m sure he started the tidal wave that now allows the public, smoke free areas.
For this alone he is a modern day hero!
Hopefully in years to come this should see less people dying before their time!
The day I am told was a huge success, the Roy Castle Fund organiser has kindly sent this image.
