April 5th 2010 will Mark the 10th anniversary of the tragic death of Chris Loftus and Kevin Speight.
The family and friends of Chris and Kevin feel that they wish to commemorate this significant milestone and have decided to raise money for Candlelighters childrens cancer charity in their memory.
The original idea was to hold a celebrity event at Elland Rd in April 2010 with a all proceeds going to Candlelighters, however with the input of enthusiastic family + friends this has now snowballed to the level where we are trying to hold one fund raising event a month between September 2009 and April 2010.
The finale to this will be a fund raising event on 3rd April 2010 at Elland Road where the success of the events will be shared with everyone present.
After much deliberation the families of Chris and Kevin decided that they would prefer the money raised to go to a local Leeds based charity so they could see an end product for all the hard work put in by everyone. Candlighters is the chosen charity of Leeds Fans Remembrance.
Under the umbrella of the Leeds united family and with the full support of club ,our goal is to raise the profile of this unique event and for everyone to contribute in what ever way possible to raise as much money for charity as we can. So lets show the world that when required we can pull together as one big family.
Just remember.
We’ve been through it all together and we’ve had are ups and downs……
Many Thanks
Family and friends of Chris and Kevin
