We held a Hawaiian theme garden party on the 4th of July to raise awareness and funds for Kasia’s memorial fund within CRY. If it was not for CRY, we would not have known why our beautiful Kasia died.

We held this event in our own garden as this is where our Kasia grew up and we have many happy memories of her playing, and felt her close by. The weather was great and the sun shone all day.

With the support of family and friends we raised over £1,000. Our special friends Margaret and Tommy very kindly travelled from Glasgow to give their support and catered all of the food which was beautifully presented.

Kasia’s dad, John, made a bar out of wood he had left from his decking and it was decorated in a Hawaiian theme – that went well with the men wanting to be barmen! Everyone turned up dressed for the occasion. Kasia would have loved all of this for her, as she always enjoyed her holidays and dressing up.

We would like to thank everyone for their help and hope to hold this event, same time same place, each year for our special daughter.
