Jesse’s Dreams is a charity run by Robyn and Ryan Bendon whose baby Jesse was born prematurely and sadly at three weeks old last year.
Keith said: ‘The pair are trying to raise money for a new incubator for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Queen Alexandra Hospital.’
The event was also the first meeting of 2018 for The Hampshire Skinhead Association which has members across the country and overseas.
