Title: Chesterfield Game
Post by: roversdude on June 04, 2024, 07:57:30 am

Appreciate the fixtures aren’t out yet but just wondering if we could maybe make the home game a Dementia awareness day and have Ernie Moss’ family as guests to get his heritage shirt

Great idea, having lost both parents to dementia/alzhiemer the more awareness and money that can be  raised for this awful disease would be truly worthwhile

My mum spent her career working with dementia patients, latterly in the community with early onset patients. It's an awful condition for the sufferers and perhaps even more so their loved ones. I would suggest that the day is used in part at least to raise funds for the local Donmentia (https://donmentia.org/) charity.

I think it’s a good idea Port Vale, another one of Ernie’s ex clubs already do this whenever they play Chesterfield.
