Our beautiful Kristian left this world suddenly & unexpectedly in September 2017. Kristian had autism, severe learning difficulties, limited speech & also developed seizures at the age of 17. Kristian suffered a seizure & cardiac arrest; he was 24 years old & 6' 3" tall. He was our lives, our love & brightest light; the most pure & gentlest soul. Kristian enriched our lives beyond measure; his big blue eyes, mischievous smile & infectious laughter. Kristian filled our hearts with more love than we could ever dream of; he was our sunshine. He made our bad days good & our good days better.

We long to fill our empty lives with the goodness of Kristian. To this end, we dedicate our undying love & vow to keep Kristian's memory & beautiful face in as many hearts & minds for as long as we are able.

Last year we raised an amazing £3420.00 for N.I. Chest Heart & Stroke (less JG fees, a total of: £3205.92), & a further £3500 between Caring Breaks & Edgcumbe Day Centre. We cannot thank friends & family enough for their kindness, effort & love for Kristian. We miss our amazing Kristian more than any words could tell; the pain of living life without his wonderment & presence are indescribable. Loving you forever Kristian; forgetting you never.

This year we hope to raise as much funds as we can for L' Arche Belfast where Kristian & his daddy went on Friday afternoons through all seasons. Smiles as the cows went by for milking, planting seeds, harvesting crops, pulling up weeds & pushing the wheelbarrow full of manure. Wind chimes, hand shakes & exchanges with special friends.

"L'Arche Belfast is a community of adults with and without intellectual disabilities who come together to recognise each others gifts to society. People say that you cannot change the world but together we can make difference; changing one heart at a time"

"Whatever their gifts or their limitations, all people are bound together in a common humanity.” L’Arche charter.
