In Memory of David Long

In our most desperate time of need; the DSAA was dispatched to do all they could to try and save dad.

Whilst the outcome was not what we would have wished for; it gave us some hope. It is a comfort know everything was done that could have been. By supporting the DSAA it is our wish that this hope can be given to other families.
