It is with the greatest sadness and deepest regret that we announce the passing of our trustee and friend Alan Michael Cleverly O.B.E. He passed away peacefully in his sleep on Monday 7^th March. This was after a long and courageous fight against cancer. A battle he fought with determination, passion and great faith.

Alan was a giant of a man and a dear friend of our founder John May. He was one of the first people to support John when he lost his daughter Lisa in the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami. Alan rallied the troops in the UK and helped raise funds, which started the Lisa May Foundation. It was a natural decision to make him a trustee and he has supported us so well throughout the last 11years.His true friendship and spirit will be sorely missed.

In the world of politics he was also a larger than life personality who took on many roles; he was a fabulous auctioneer at many of our charity events and could sell ice to Eskimos!

His spirit lives on through the many memories we have of him and the sterling work he did for so many. We know he has already been promoted to Archangel Alan and will be booming advice from on high for evermore wherever we are.
