Raising cash in memory of daughter 

The Northern Echo -  30th September 2011

 

 

Family and friends of a teenager who died in her sleep raised more than £700 for charity at an event marking the first anniversary of her death. 

 

Camilla Irvine, from Bredale, North Yorkshire, died in September last year, at a friend's house, aged 16. 

 

Her parents, Wendy and David Irvine, held a party at their home last weekend, in honour of their daughter. 

 

Mrs Irvine said: "The evening was Milla's 18th, 21st and wedding rolled into one. 

 

"We knew it would be difficult, and our way of dealing with it was to surround ourselves with 300 of our friends and Milla's. 

 

"Guests partied, in Milla's honour, until the early hours.  A 'midnight challenge' was arranged and £741 was put into the collection box.  We were stunned by everyone's generosity." 

 

The collection will be given to the Camilla Irvine Memorial Fund, managed by the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY). 

 

Ripon Grammar School, where Camilla was a student before leaving for post-16 study in Richmond, recently held a week of charity events, with CRY among the beneficiaries.
