Simon Roe Memorial Tax Disc.
With tax discs (VED Discs) being phased out last October in the UK, many cars now have a somewhat redundant tax disc holder, so I struck upon the idea of filling this space with something we can remember Simon by, whilst supporting and donating to Melanoma UK.
The aim of this item is to generate £5 per disc sold to go to Melanoma UK. (A UK charity: 1157635 - MELANOMA UK - INCORPORATING FACTOR 50) this will be done just by you buying it, via eBay for Charity.
More details on the link below
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Simon-Roe-.../271779861475? UPDATE, the original listing expired having sold 46 out of 50 available.New listing of 10 available http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Simon-Roe-.../271817251377?

It's in the same vein as the Memorial Stickers that Team Legacy UK and co had produced with the same charity benefiting. Melanoma UK being the families' chosen charity.

Good. The question was asked as other no marks tried to jump on the bandwagon a while ago
When the question was asked they disappeared like a light going off.
My misses brother died of melanoma, so I can actually empathise with Simon's family.
