Dear Friends,

After the sudden loss of Sonya Shorto back in October 2006. We are still deeply shocked and bemused by the events however we know that there is much work to be done for Sonya's family and also the Junior Soccer Club which were two of her big loves. As a family we are strong and will continue to support each other when needed, which is daily it seems.

The Junior Club of course will also continue with the help of those people who were already to come on board. One of Sonyas’ biggest thrills was to see the young players arrive at the Club and watch them grow into young adults with the right outlook on life.

With this in mind we are setting up the “Sonya Shorto Memorial Trust Fund” this money will be used to improve the players at the Junior Club in many ways. Many people have said to us that if there was anything they could do to help, please let them know. Well this is one real way we can make a difference by donating to this fund. Any amount forwarded however small will be used 100% to help the players at Balga Junior Soccer club. It may be boots that actually fit or a special speaker to address the whole Club or clothes to go to a special interview or some educational course. There are many ways we can help these children improve their self respect and this is what we will try to achieve.

Please be assured that if you are unable to help in this way and would like to assist, be it with some ideas or time, feel free to contact me at balgasc@hotmail.com
Looking forward to hearing from you
Regards
Ken Shorto
