Vicky said: “It has been a huge shock to everyone that knows Alex, those that do would agree he is a great lad and such a lovable character, everyone who knows Alex is trying to raise money in any way shape or form to get him home, and so far people are showing amazing support. I can’t thank Claire enough for putting herself forward to help raise some cash for such a good cause and, of course, a huge thank you to those who choose to donate”
Vicky will be taking donations on the day of the match, with Claire having set a valuation on her hair of £100, and is hoping to raise as much money as possible in support of Alex.
