Celebration of Life Charity/Fundraiser In Memory of Ms Leah Raeburn - Fri 15th Aug 2014
20th October 2014
We would like to thank everyone who came and supported Leah's Celebration of Life and SUDEP awareness event on Friday 15th August. It meant a lot to us and to Ase who had a fantastic time surrounded by positive energy and love.
There was so much for the children to get involved in, such as; bouncy castle, lucky dip, popcorn, cake decorating, loom band tutorials, play doh, arts and crafts, face painting, BBQ and much more. By the time the evening entertainment was due to start the children didn't want the fun day to end. The evening entertainment included a range of talented artists from poets to singers to speakers and a special tribute was read out for our beloved sister Leah. Overall the event was a success and we enjoyed every minute of making it a reality and raising money for such a good cause.
