Charlotte's Day this year falls on what would have
been Karen Williams' beloved daughter's 14th birthday, Saturday July 7.
The celebrations of Charlotte Wright's life will
run over the weekend, starting at noon in Clyde Street, Sheerness.
Live music by well-known artists, readings by the
Mystic Megs and a host of other attractions will support the event dedicated
to the little girl who died from an undiagnosed heart defect when she was on
a school field trip.
Since the tragedy five years ago, her family and
friends have campaigned to raise funds for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY).
Karen said: "On Saturday there will be teams
competing in a tug of war, and entertainment from singer Mark Black,
landlord of the Blacksmiths Arms, who also puts up the £100 first prize in
the raffle.
"Mick Kenten sings on Sunday and there will be a
pool knock out contest, barbecues both days and massive support from local
firms."
They hope to raise £2,500 to be shared between
CRY, Demelza Hospice and Preston Skreens respite unit for children.
