Accountants aid fundraising in memory of much-missed Neil

A firm of accountants in Watford is to hold a fundraising lunch to help a late colleague’s wife in her bid to raise £100,000.

Neil Cundale, who died of cancer last year at the age of 41, worked for Hillier Hopkins that will be hosting its charity lunch at Watford FC on Friday 4th October in aid of his wife Liz’s fundraising for the Hospice of St Francis in Berkhamsted.

The hospice supported Neil and his family throughout his illness, and Liz said she wanted to repay some of the kindness she, Neil and their children had received from them. She is approaching the halfway point in her fundraising mission, with a little under £50,000 raised so far.

On her fundraising page, Liz wrote: “The Hospice is such a special place; not only did Neil receive exemplary care, so did I and the children. We did make memories that will last a lifetime and our daughter Lucy kept saying how lucky Daddy was to be in such a beautiful place.

“It has been such a difficult time for our family to live through, but the support we have been provided and will continue to receive has made this pain significantly more bearable.”

Hillier Hopkins has a three-course meal, a guest speaker and an afternoon of entertainment planned, including a charity auction.

Tickets cost £75 per seat, or £750 for a table of 10. Find out more or book seats at https://hillierhopkins.co.uk/events/charity-lunch/ or contact Ross Jenner on 01923 634252 or hi@hhllp.co.uk.
