Shirt of your Dreamz
 

Dave Brown, of Rugby Plus in Dundee’s Union Street, with the unique shirt.

 
A specially-designed football shirt, signed by All Blacks rugby captain Richie McCaw and fly-half Dan Carter, will be on display at Rugby Plus in Dundee’s Union Street this week for a secret auction in aid of Dreamz 4 U.
The shirt, which features the Dundee children’s charity’s logo, is one of only ten to be made.

Sealed bids will be accepted until Friday 18, when the winner will be announced. Proceeds from the auction will go to the charity’s funds.

Founder Jimmy Michie said that the shirt is extra special because it is the only one of its kind in the world.

“It’s good for someone to have that shirt rather than a signed New Zealand kit,” he said, “There are lots of those knocking around, but this is unique.”

Friday 18 will also see the first ‘Pig Nose Day’ — the focus of the Dreamz 4 U’s spring fund-raising, with schools, businesses and sports teams gearing up to don pig snouts as part of the drive. Snouts are available for only £1, with all proceeds going to Dreamz 4 U.

The charity grants the wishes of sick children — with tickets to see pop stars in concert, watch top football matches, or ride in a limousine among the most popular.

More information on the work of Dreamz 4 U and how to get involved is available at http://www.dreamz4u.org/.
