Family and friends who have raised more than £170,000 in memory of a “great man” who was loved by everyone he knew are hoping to add thousands more to their total.
Whitburn man Willie Wilmot died in November 2007 of cancer when he was just 59 and since then his family have held an annual event for the community to gather and remember him while raising funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.
This year they will mark the 15th anniversary of the Willie Wilmot Family Fun Day and are looking forward to it being business as usual after an online event in 2020 and a scaled-back version the following year due to covid.
