This records the fantastic fundraising effort that Noel initiated, and maintained with help from Jenny Bloor, Ladies Captain, throughout 2019. Noel himself has undergone surgery for Head and Neck cancer, and felt that raising funds for Headcases would be a fitting way to thank those involved in his treatment, and aftercare.
