The charity match is now in its 3rd year and is part of a growing fundraising campaign. We lost Charlie Holden in January 2015 at the age of 15. Since this tragic loss we have had 3 lads versus dads matches (dads have won all 3!), a colour run, a social evening on Charlie’s 18th last May, and we are planning a concert into September where Charlie’s friends are performing. Bridgewater High School in Warrington contributed ยฃ2000 to our fundraising last year which they raised through their “Heart Week”.
Our fundraising will continue and we will plan at least 1 a year. All funds will go to CRYCharlieHolden in order to raise awareness of SADs and to help fund the provision of testing and de-fib units in all North West schools. We will continue to #Doitforcharlie.
