Boxer Tommy Jacobs Grants a Wish at Lime Court Care Home

The FaNs Wishing Washing Line is displayed in Lime Court’s local Morrison’s Supermarket. The idea behind the display is to encourage both shoppers and staff members to read the wishes and if they are able to grant a very simple wish, they can contact the staff at Lime Court and arrange for the residents’ wishes to be granted. Lime Court resident Michael, 91, was in the army and served with the Kent Regiment.

Whilst serving in the Army, Michael boxed and won various championships in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaya. Michael continued to box up until the age of 50. Michael’s wish on the FaNs Wishing Washing Line was to ‘meet up with another boxer’.

Professional Boxer, Tommy Jacobs heard of Michaels request and kindly granted his wish. Tommy spent time with Michael chatting about his time in the ring. They both looked through his photos and Michael enjoyed reminiscing about his boxing years. Tommy kindly brought his professional boxing belts along to show Michael, who was over the moon to have a good look at his World Boxing Foundation European and international titles.

Lime Court would like to thank Tommy for fulfilling Michael’s wish.
