John Jones reaches £80,000 for East Cheshire Hospice, Macclesfield – UKby Rob Howard |
Accordionist John Jones MBE, from Macclesfield, Cheshire, has been recognised by the East Cheshire Hospice for raising £80,000 for them over several years. John is very well-known locally for fund raising with his accordion for various charitable causes, and in 2011 was awarded the MBE (member of the British Empire) by Princess Anne at Buckingham Palace. He continues his fund raising to this day, and is a familiar sight, especially at Macclesfield General Hospital. He has met several famous people there, including Sir Alex Ferguson, former manager of Manchester United, who booked John to play at his golden wedding celebration. |
