Joe Way banner takes a 6000km round trip for Precious Lives...

To assist www.joeway.co.uk in raising money for the Precious Lives appeal, Wavecrest Scuba has taken the web address to New Depths. Mark and a few divers will be taking the Joe Way Banner on a dive with them. They hope to raise awareness of the important work both the precise lives and www.joeway.co.uk are doing.
Mark Rayner owner of Wavecrest said “We haven't managed to get any in the sea yet, due to poor conditions, so we decided to take the banner on a 6000 KM road trip from Orkney to Portugal”
Mark added “we left Rock on the 11th heading to Scrabster just over 1000km away. The following day we caught the ferry to Orkney loading brown crab. We then left for Portsmouth on our way to Setabul just under 3000km away. Stopping in Setabul for 24 hours we then departed for Rock arriving the 18th.
Matt Joes Dad added “Joe’s banners and stickers are being taken all over the world and people are having great fun doing it”.
Claire Joe’s mum said: “It’s been great with so many people enjoying fun ways to get our son’s story out there. The website is there to inspire other families and provide information on the conditions Joe had”

Mark Rayner owner of Wavecrest said “We haven't managed to get any in the sea yet , when we went out the other day the visibility was about a foot , not great for photograph but we should be out again this week diving on a wreck in Falmouth this week its a 25 meter dive on to the SS Stanwood”

Portsmouth runners raise money and profile of Newquay boy Joe Way

Hanna Kingston and Emma Standing are both nurses at Basingstoke they learnt about Joe through a friend Katie Garner who was one Joe’s nurses in Cornwall.

The running duo said “We are really pleased to raise money and awareness of Joe’s story through his website; we often see the family when we take surfing trips to Cornwall with Katie”.

Katie said “Joe was a special boy and the more people who read his story the more people he can keep inspiring”.

A family friend John Simmons is also running for Joe which will be the second time he has done so at the same event.

Last time John raised money so Joe could have a projector for his room. This time sadly John will be running in Joe’s memory to raise money for his website www.joeway.co.uk which aims to raise £25k towards building a children’s hospice in Cornwall.

Claire way Joes mum said “It’s great that the girls and John are running for Joe, good luck”
