Cricket tickets - but can't go

Had a bit of a bittersweet win yesterday. I entered the Hardy's cricket tickets draw for my OH as his dad is terminally ill and it would have given him a break.
Turns out I won! Tickets to the 2nd day of the New Zealand test at Headingley at the end of May.
Sadly, we since found out that my fil's prognosis is worse than first thought, and he only has a few weeks left. Understandably, my OH doesn't want to trek up to Leeds from Kent for a cricket match in case something happens and he can't get back, so I have emailed Hardy's to explain and asked them to redraw.
It's a shame as he would have really enjoyed it but some things are more important than prizes.
Maybe someone here will be lucky enough to win the redrawn tickets, if you do, have a drink for us, won't you?;)

That's sad. I hope your FIL is as comfortable as he can be in the circumstances.“It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.”
