Our beautiful son Cameron Slater passed away on 13/03/24 peacefully in his sleep aged just 23 years. After a normal day at work and a game of darts with his friends in the evening, Cameron went to bed as normal, like he did every other night. Only he never woke up. That day the world kept spinning, but our lives stopped. 

Cameron was young, fit, healthy and full of life. He was a beautiful soul who cared for and deeply loved the people in his life. A loving son, a devoted brother, an adoring boyfriend, and a loyal friend to so many. There are no words to describe the hole he has left in so many hearts. 

Cameron had achieved so much in his 23 years. His plans for the future knew no limits, and we can only imagine what he would have achieved if he had more time on this cruel world. He was exceptionally driven and launched a successful online business in lockdown and bought his own house at the young age of 21. This work ethic coexisted with a genuine and limitless generosity that he extended to so many. He went above and beyond for you, whether you were family or a stranger. His enormous heart impacted so many people and we all felt this so strongly on the day of his funeral, when over 1200 people came to remember him. Since his passing, the number of people approaching us to tell us fond memories with Cameron and the kindness he showed them is truly remarkable. He was the happiest, brightest, and most charming person in every room, especially on his beloved skiing holidays. 

Every moment since the day he was born he brought joy and pride to our life. No amount of time will ever heal us, but everything we do now is to try and make him proud. We find the strength to keep going in the kindness offered to us by all those who have supported us through this tragedy.

We hope that by starting this memorial fund we can contribute to CRY’s mission to prevent young cardiac death, so no other families have to experience a loss and heartbreak so profound. Our aim is to fund a screening day for the local community in Coventry, Cameron’s hometown.

We all love you so much Cameron, you are forever in our hearts until we reunite again one day. 

This memorial fund has been set up by the family to help CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) reduce the frequency of young sudden cardiac death through supporting CRY’s screening programme.

The aim is to fund the screening of young people within the local community.

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.
