Oldham rugby legend Kevin Sinfield pledges his support
Oldham rugby legend Kevin Sinfield is gearing up for his next mammoth charity effort, after he vowed to raise money for the Ricky Casey Trust next month.
A friend of Kevin’s, Ricky was a much-loved Oldham firefighter who died of Renal Medullary Carcinoma (RMC) in 2019 – a rare and very aggressive form of kidney cancer.
Ricky’s family say they didn t get the support they needed because RMC wasn t widely researched and known about in the UK, so his wife Nicola set up the Ricky Casey Trust charity in October last year.
Richard Paul Loughlin and Wilma Walker Loughlin began dating in 1989.  During the four years they dated Richardâs persistence in asking Wilma to marry him paid off. He would joke âOn the fourth time she said YES!â The two married at the First Baptist Church in Whitehouse on June 23, 1993. Â
During the 31 years they were together, Richard gave Wilma the world and Wilma poured her energy into providing him a loving home and helping him build a successful C.P.A firm.  They often commented on what a wonderful life they had together. The two shared a love of travel, dancing, pinochle and volunteer work in Henderson and the surrounding community.  Together, they established a large group of friends to share in the activities they so enjoyed.
