 They
have since become members of the CRY SS Group
for young people (under 35) who have
had or are about to confront potentially life-saving surgery and want to talk
to others who have been through a similar experience, including fitting
of pacemakers, implantable defibrillators, ICD and ablation.
This
year they have begun a unique fundraising project with the help of their
Mum details of which are included in the letter at the bottom of this
page which is
being sent to celebrities throughout the world.

Letter
for support
Dear
..................................
We
are two very lucky sisters, affectionately known as the ‘Bionic
Babes’ - please see our story
enclosed - who are trying to raise money for a wonderful charity and
to raise awareness of sudden death syndrome, in the hope that other
families will not have to go through the trauma of losing a loved one.
Especially when these deaths can so easily be prevented. Our aim is set out for you
below.
For
a period of one year our mum Julie has very generously donated use, and
possibly abuse, of her highly cherished 1979, Type 2, Volkswagen Kombi.
We intend to have it re-sprayed and have the CRY logo put on the front.
We hope to collect a lot of celebrity autographs on the small red hearts
enclosed, and to have them stuck onto the ‘Bionic Bus’. Mum will
take the bus to as many shows and rallies as possible throughout the
year and we will run a competition to guess how many autographs we will
have by 31st December 2003
We
would be grateful if you could sign the red heart for us using the
enclosed permanent marker and also autograph both of the white labels
together with a short “thought from the heart” underneath. These
labels will be made into two books.
One of these books will be presented to the winner of the
competition and the other will be auctioned off with the highest bid
being paid to CRY.
Oh,
and because we are cheeky – let’s face it, we can now afford to be -
we would also be very grateful if you would make a donation to the
charity as well. Please
return the heart, labels and donation
- cheques made payable to CRY - to us at our Mum’s shop.
With
Heartfelt Thanks, Danii-Marie
(16) and Laura (13)
P.S.
Please pass on any spare hearts to your celebrity friends…..
Thanks.
