In Memory of Matt Hales “Your organisation came to my notice since my godson, Matthew Hales, died last May at the age of 23. I’ve just had my 60th birthday and asked for donations instead of gifts. Matt was a lovely, young man - it’s still very hard to believe he’s died - so anything that can be done to help prevent these tragic occurrences is vital.” Mrs Jill Smout sent in a donation of £160.

Shamil was a student at Kuwait English School from 1992 to 2007 and the teachers, students and management have been extremely supportive of raising awareness of CRY, since we very sadly lost Shamil on 1 December 2010 to SADS. Dozens of students and teachers from the Kuwait English School and other friends in Kuwait participated. Many had donation websites and different ways of collecting funds so it might take a while to calculate the total donation. A figure of £8,000 was mentioned – so we hope we can raise that for CRY.
