 This
is something that we had planned to do for some time, and so we tried to
get it to coincide with CRY's Raising Awareness week as best we could.
My son
Simon Cullum died of SADS on 7th June
2007, aged 29yrs. This is when I became aware of CRY and since
then have been trying to do as much as I can to raise awareness and
funds in Simon's name .
It was a very cold and
windy day but the shoppers were out in force. Several people
thought we were selling poppies, but still gave us their money anyway.
I actually met a couple
of people who had lost a loved one and already knew of CRY, so that was
nice. Also I met a mum of one of Simons friends, she came and introduced
herself, so that was nice too.
On the day we took
£138 and I have also been given donations since the day so the total has
gone up to £200.
We are now looking ahead
to our next fundraiser and hope that it will be as successful as other
events we have done!!
