CRY screening - Bude, Cornwall in memory of Martyn Luckett

 

30th & 31st January 2010

The event was well supported - it was the first in the South West/Cornwall area and people came from as far as Glastonbury, Bristol and Cornwall, as well as local people.

 

This was quite an emotional weekend for us.  It hit me that Martyn had actually gone, particularly when seeing a lot of his school mates, but then it was a feeling of satisfaction to think that we were doing some good to help youngsters in the area. 

There were 91 booked in on the Saturday and 89 turned up; and on the Sunday just under 50 people were screened, with some coming in off the street.

They were a lovely crowd from CRY - we hit it off right away and I spent the whole of the two days with them.  We also joined them - my husband John  and I - for a meal on the Saturday evening.  We are now hoping to make this an annual event, as I have had quite a few people approach me since the event wishing they had taken up the offer. 

We as a family have raised over £20,000 since Martyn's death and there is £9,000 in the memorial fund for screening.

I feel it was very professionally done and thanks to all the CRY team for making the long journey down to Cornwall.
