Cash will be shared between the RNLI in Lerwick and Aith, as well as the Fishermen’s Mission in Shetland
A fundraiser in memory of much-loved husband and father Victor Duncan, who died in a road accident last weekend, has already raised thousands of pounds. The JustGiving page[1] set up by Mr Duncan's wife Denise is raising funds for the Fishermen's Mission in Lerwick and the lifeboats in both Aith and Lerwick.
A GBP1,000 target was set - but donations came thick and fast, and were already approaching the GBP9,000 mark last night. "Victor had a love of the sea and all his working life he has been involved with boats either fishing or offshore," the page reads. "We are raising money to be split between the Fishermen's Mission in Lerwick, and the Aith and Lerwick Lifeboats which is what he would have wanted."
Mr Duncan died on 21st March when his bicycle was struck by a Ford pick-up in Trondra.
The 51 year-old is survived by his wife Denise and their children Jeemie, Leah and Eloise.
