“Coastway Vets are sponsoring the fun dog show and bringing along a team of Vet Nurses and Behaviourist to answer any questions animal related.”
After Tommy’s death, Jeanette set up Tommy’s Fund which aims to support families that lose an older child aged 18 to 30 suddenly.
However this year Jeanette said she wanted to do something positive in her son’s memory and has decided to use the event to raise funds for Bradley Harrison.
