Leanne Faulkner

In the years since Leanne passed away, her family & friends have been busy setting up a memorial charitable trust in her name. Because of the tragic and unexpected way in which she died we wanted to provide a positive channel for those who knew her and remembered her . As our ideas grew we came to what we feel is a valuable and worthwhile way to channel our grief, and extend our good will, through founding a charitable trust in her name.

Leanne had been fortunate in life, to have a loving family and wide circle of friends in England and in Portugal . She lived in Wantage, Oxfordshire in her early childhood where she was a pupil at Charlton Primary School. In 2001 she and her family moved to the Algarve in Portugal, and made their home in Sagres. She thoroughly enjoyed her new lifestyle and as the fun loving fun girl she was, embraced it whole heartedly . She attended a small Secondary School where she had many friends, and regularly visited her friends and family in England. She looked forward to her future and was making ambitious plans to travel the world once she finished her studies.

She had only just returned to her home in Portugal, after visiting Abingdon College where she planned to study for her “A” levels, which was the first step towards her dream vocation as a fashion designer, when she became unwell. Her condition deteriorated over the following days when it became clear to us that she was seriously ill. Leanne’s heart became too weak to fight the illness and she died at the young age of 15, of Myocarditis. Her mother and father were by her side at Santa Maria Hospital in Lisbon, Portugal, on the 8th March 2006.

We still arrange the Loulabell ball and have a special one planned for August 6 2016 to mark the 10th anniversary of Leanne’s death which we will be raising awareness for CRY, and local charity’s here in Portugal.

Myself and 4 friends are also embarking on the “London2Brighton 100km challenge” to raise money for C.R.Y. Non of us have ever done anything like this before but wanted to do something special for Leanne’s memory.

This memorial fund has been set up by the family to help CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) raise awareness of young sudden cardiac death, support those affected, support CRY’s screening programme and fund research and pathology.

Claim Gift Aid

Gift Aid It!Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Cardiac Risk in the Young to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Cardiac Risk in the Young we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

Tell me more »

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Cardiac Risk in the Young to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Cardiac Risk in the Young will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Cardiac Risk in the Young receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
