Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
My son Aren was stabbed and killed on 29th October 2017 in Croydon. He was 17 years old.
Darren Kenny the Manager at Whyteleafe FC is helping to arrange a memorial football match on Friday 12th July at 6.30pm. There will be a paying bar and food. Entry donation is £5.00.
Venue is at Whyteleafe Football Club, 15 Church Road, Whyteleafe, CR3 0AR.
All proceeds will go to The Ascension Trust who have supported me and my family during this tragic time. They also organise rallies to highlight the devastation violent crime causes to families and the community.
