A youngster whose best friend died of a heart attack on a school trip has raised £500 for charity.
Charlotte Wright was just nine years old when she died on a school trip to the Isle of Wight, leaving Amy looking on in horror.
Now Amy Mead, 13, who is a pupil at Highstead Grammar School in Sittingbourne, has been awarded a certificate from the charity CRY – Cardiac Risk in the Young, for raising the cash.
Since the tragedy, Charlotte’s parents, Chris Wright and Karen Williams, have been raising the profile of the charity CRY, particularly on the Isle of Sheppey where they live.
Amy has so far also helped to raise £1,000 for the charity.
