Should I do this for him?

My Bampi died with oesophageal cancer last September... He went to a local cancer hospital and was receiving treatment... but his tumour bled and he was loosing blood and having to go back and for to hospital... The night before he died my mum and dad visited him and he said he will be home by Monday as they were going to discharge him that day... the next day my mum came into the charity shop in which i volunteer and told me I had to come home because he'd passed away...
My Bampi was my hero... he was also a popular person in the community... he could not go shopping without being stopped to talk by a friend of his. He set up a fishing club in our town, he was a regular at a local pub and a player on the skittles team. he had over 300 people turn up for his funeral... He was respected and loved by all who knew him...
For some time I have been debating what I can do in his memory... I've had hundreds of idea, such as a skydive, I then realised this was an unrealistic idea due to my fear of falling! So now I'm debating a month without internet to raise money for the cancer charity, and debating whether I should try to organise a fishing competition to raise money?.
What else can I do? Should I do anything?

You said he was a regular at the pub, how about a pub quiz?
Like you said a fishing competition and there could be cakes/refreshments for sale. It sounds like he was really well liked so I'm sure a lot of people would like to help!
