A few weeks later, I got an e-mail from Frank Mellina in Brooklyn, New York, asking if I could supply him with a boxing ring. As it happened, I was going to New York for my brother-in-laws 50th birthday celebrations and arranged to meet the guy.

Carrie, 26, said: Mayhem Promotions are currently raising funds for the Sick Kids as one of the other girls son had to spend a lot of time there in his youth due to heart problems. I wanted to do my bit, but I also really wanted to raise funds for SiMBA, as they really helped my father Andy and his girlfriend Mandy when they lost their son Derick in November last year. SiMBA help families cope with the loss of a child through miscarriage or stillbirth by providing a family area within the maternity ward specifically for those who have lost a child, and by also giving the opportunity to create precious memories. Mandy Cumming, 30, who also lives in Whitburn, said: Derick was stillborn at 36 weeks, which was utterly devastating. We were all ready for him arriving and then suddenly he was gone. As recently as ten or 15 years ago if you lost a child this way you would be left with nothing, but SiMBA offer you the chance to take pictures with your child, and also help you create a memory box, including things like handprints, footprints and a lock of hair. The memories I have of Derick are the most precious thing I have if the house caught fire, thats what I would save. Carries fun day will take place at Whitburn Juniors FC between noon and 4pm on Sunday, with family events such as face-painting and bouncy castles, before an adult event in the evening will see her joined by more Mayhem Babes for an evening of karaoke with Glasgows Bare All Butlers on hand for those who prefer their eye candy male.
