Pixie
Lott becomes CRY Patron
CRY is delighted to announce that singer Pixie Lott has become a CRY
Patron. Pixie became aware of CRY after pupils at Amesbury School
in Surrey recorded a version of her song "Boys and Girls" to help raise
funds and awareness for CRY in memory of former pupil Sebastian English.
The video
to accompany the school's version of the song has become a
YouTube hit and
the song itself is available to download
from iTunes with all proceeds going to CRY. |

In
memory of Hannah Taylor
"She gloried in driving round in her car
wearing her designer sunglasses and posing with such a cute little dog.
Hannah if anything was a poser. But then she had much to pose about, a
very pretty girl and then a beautiful young woman with the deportment of
a thoroughbred." |
