I am pleased to say that with great support from colleagues and family we have raised ยฃ800 across three sites in the Department of Health in Leeds, London and Fleetwood. The figure includes the money from my 89 year old mother who held a small cake bake at the local community coffee shop. I will forward a couple of photographs of the event at one site, and would like to make our contribution in memory of Adrian Badon.
In addition to the money raised it was a very good opportunity to raise awareness in terms of the numbers of young people who die with sudden adult death syndrome. A number of staff thought it was important to learn more about it, they were surprised at the numbers of young people affected and there was a suggestion that it would be good to invite CRY to do a presentation on the services you offer and SADS. I think this would be a good opportunity to share more information and raise further awareness.
Thank you for the cake bake kits.
