Thank you to the family and friends of Caleb Kennedy. Sadly, Caleb died from a severe heart problem at the end of 2005 however Caleb’s family set up a page on Justgiving so they could help other people in similar situations.
£2,065 was donated and with the Gift Aid, a total of £2,568 was raised. The Association would like to say thank you to all the family and friends of Caleb for their support, especially at what was a very difficult time.
