What a wonderful night we had and raised a great amount of money for Cardiac Risk in the Young.
The event was held in memory of our dear friend Diane Austin who sadly lost her battle with cancer two years ago. Diane was a school nurse and had a passion for improving the lives of our young people in Stoke on Trent. She was instrumental in promoting CPR education in high schools across Stoke and worked with the team from Good Morning Britain to help distribute resuscitation dummies and dummy defibs to year 7 pupils and provide training on how to administer safe CPR. In setting up this event for CRY it was her sons wish that the fundraising was dedicated to your charity.
We were also fortunate that 2 of the representatives from CRY were able to inform the audience of how the money raised from the evening would help with screening, research and educating about the work that CRY do. Alongside great food, we had the singalong waiters entertain us and it was emotional to see 185 people up on their feet singing and dancing along.
All in all a great night was had by all.
