FAMILY and friends of a much-loved Ipswich man who died after a severe asthma attack are preparing to turn out in force this Bank Holiday Monday to raise money for charity.

FAMILY and friends of a much-loved Ipswich man who died after a severe asthma attack are preparing to turn out in force this Bank Holiday Monday to raise money for charity.

It is now two years since popular hospital worker David Halley-Frame died while on a night out with friends in Ipswich town centre but his memory lives on strong among all those who knew him.

In a tribute to their friend, Mr Halley-Frame's mates will take to the football field at St Clement's Social Club in Ipswich for a charity match in aid of Asthma UK.

The event will be the third held in memory of the 25-year-old - but this year there will also be a seven-a-side women's game.

Among the players will be some of Mr Halley-Frame's relatives, plus a large contingent of his friends, as well as some of his co-workers from St Clement's Hospital.

Mr Halley-Frame died on August 27, 2005, after collapsing near Upper Orwell Street. It took an ambulance 31 minutes to arrive and by the time it did he could not be revived.

Since his death, Mr Halley-Frame's friends and family have held events to raise money for Asthma UK, as well as to keep his memory alive.

Members of the public who knew Mr Halley-Frame, of King's Way, as well as those who want to raise money for a good cause are invited to attend the event from 1pm.

As well as the football matches, there will be a BBQ, a majorette performance at half time and a raffle. The games will be followed by a gathering inside the social club.
