frenchy Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Scott Harrison aka Zippy, a fellow Impreza enthusiast has received devastating news that his 11 year old son has only a matter of weeks to live due a cancerous brain tumour. Here is his post from another forum: hi all i cant believe im about to say this but here goes i have just been informed that my 11 year old son has around 4 weeks to live for those who dont know he had leukeamia aged 2 and beat it then last year we had the devastating news that he had a cancerous brain tumor they operated and removed it and we thought all was well until friday when we were given the news it had returned in 2 places and there is nothing more they can do to help him as you can imagine we are totally devastated and have to try to make the most of our time left with our little boy so heres where i hope you can all help me i promised him a few weeks ago before i found out about this that i would take him to a car gathering as he is a massive fan of sports/modified cars mainly subaru,s evo,s etc but i cannot find one so i thought i would try arrange one just for him so i can keep that promise! i have arranged with dewsbury district golf club Sands Lane, Mirfield, West Yorkshire, WF14 8HJ, England Is located at The Pinnacle in Mirfield, West Yorkshire. A 10 minutes drive from junction 25 on the M62. to be able to use there car park for the gathering which i would like to hold on saturday the 8th of september starting from 6 pm. everybody and every type of car is welcome the club house is open for drinks etc so please please please attend if can make it and make my little boys night a special one thank you all in advance and please put your name down on your posts to this thread so i can get an idea of numbers. I hope that as many of you are able to show your support to Zippy, his son and their family.

StrikE Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 A parents worst nightmare for sure gutted for the whole family & hope it never happens to my kids. Love to come to this but seeing as its now completely viral across the internet there could be massive issues with the amount of people turning up! This might need organised properly to avoid a logistical disaster! That might spoil the entire event. Link to comment

This might need organised properly to avoid a logistical disaster! That might spoil the entire event. I agree!With having kids myself & them meaning the world to me! My thoughts go out to all of you! Perhaps those of us who can't make this! A donation to a trust fund for the family ! Paid through sidc's paypal account ? Only a suggestion! Link to comment

smiffy852 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Just got back and today was great. A massive turn out with all sorts of cars! Great weather all day! And best of all Connor had a big smile on his face all day! I don't know if any of the organisers will see this but well done to you all, a really good day! I think everyone enjoyed it, especially Connor! Link to comment
