	Hyde Park Memorial Day - details of where to meet Dear All Finally!! Here's the details of Kayles memorial day: Hyde Park - near Albion Gate area - map attached Sunday 3rd September 06 11.00 - or whenever you can make it We will take the large white gazebo again, so do look out for this. There is free parking on Bayswater Road on Sunday, so park up there and come and meet us - be aware though, that if the race has started, you may have problems getting across the track, so may be worth getting there just before 11 - we'll be there from around 10.30 anyway. As previously mentioned, please bring your own picnic food and drinks - I will bring surplus drinks as I've asked Kayles to send the sun and I'm sure she'll oblige! We will be holding this day as a Memorial Day primarily for Kayles, but we will also be remembering Abhinay who passed earlier this year and was on the same ward as Kayles at GOS for many years and my friends Angels, who will be attending as well hopefully - I would ask you to bring a photo of your Angels. This year we are raising money for HCPT who is a charity organisation who took Kayles to Lourdes the year before she died. This charity takes disabled and disadvantaged kids away every Easter. The 'helpers', nurses and doctors each pay their own costs and give their time freely and the kids are paid for from money raised from charitable donations. If it were not for these people doing such valuable work, Kayles would not have experience all she did. She was deeply moved by the candle lit procession and the visits to the grotto and amongst all this had the best time with the helpers - fancy dress party (where you may have guessed, she was dressed up in gangsta bling!!), trip to the zoo (where she took volumes of photos of unidentifiable animals in cages!), trip to the beach, games of rounders. I cannot thank HCPT enough for taking the time to take such good care of Kayles. Alex was lucky enough to go the following year, some 4 months after Kayles had passed and I know felt very privileged to experience to go on this bittersweet trip to Lourdes. I know Kayles would support me in trying to raise as much money as possible to enable other children to experience this holiday as well. I very much look forward to seeing you on the 3rd. Norm will be doing a speech again, I'm sure those of you who attended last year will remember how moving and special this was. If anyone has a few words they would like to say, please do let me know. With lots of love Karen Norman, Alex, Nathan, Julesxx

	Kayles Memorial Day - 2006 Hi to all!!!! Another year's gone by since Kayles memorial day and the Hydroactive run. Sad news in that I have just tried to log on to the Hydroactive run site and unbelievably the run has been closed as they have met their target of runners. This was completely unforseen and I am afraid no-one else will now be able to join in the run - including myself, which I am quite upset about. However, I am still determined to make this day one to enjoy and so we can remember Kayles. A few friends of mine are running/walking/hobbling the course and are doing it in memory of Kayles to raise money for HCPT, which is the charity that took Kayles to Lourdes the year before she died. Kayles had a great time there and although not particularly religious got a great deal out of visiting the grotto. All the people that go each year on this pilgrimage do so out of their own pockets - they all pay for themselves, which personally I think is extremely selfless. The charity pay for the kids and I think it a really worthwhile cause. For kids like Kayles to go abroad and be looked after by trained nurses, doctors and other caring adults is amazing - as many of you know, sick kids find it very difficult to travel. So - I have included a weblink at the bottom of this page (if it does not allow you to click on it, please copy and paste into your address bar and press enter) that you simply click on to donate money to HCPT through 'just giving'. I will also be collecting money and cheques on the day if you prefer. What I suggest is that everyone who was intending on taking part donate their £15.00 registration fee to the charity - they have a target of £550, but I intend to smash this - I hope you'll help!!!! I hope to see you all there on the day - as usual we will be having a picnic (bring your own food and drink) and I'll organise some games for the kids. This day will be to celebrate Kayles life - one very much missed by all and also to remember Abhinay who many of you knew from Peter Pan Ward, GOS as well as my friends who have angels who will hopefully all come and join us. It will be a great day of celebration and remembrance. Please escalate this email around - I don't have many email addresses for some reason, so please do send this on - particularly Peter Pan staff and Galaxy staff along with anyone who knew Kayles. Please come and make the day extra special - email me back if you are coming so I can send you details nearer the time. With love to you all.

	Norm's speech at Kayles memorial day 2005 This is the speech that Norm made to everyone at Kayles memorial day 4th September 2005. "Hello to all of you on behalf of Karen and from me personally. This is an even which we would like to thank you all for coming and participating in, be it a runner, walker, helper or spectator. We hope you have all enjoyed the day, and to those who couldn't make it.... I'm sure you'll spread the word and if you haven't enjoyed it - keep your big mouths shut!! Personally speaking, and I'm sure many of you will feel the same, this is a day of celebration and remembrance of Kayles. It is not about mourning her death, it's a way of saying 'you're not forgotten, we still think about you every day adn still love you' I would like everyone to spare a thought for someone they've lost and loved, because I know just like Kayles, you think about them and miss them very much and still love them. As I said, today is about remembrance and is not just for Kayles - I would like everyone to think about the following angels as well: Kayles Kath and Dave's son - Chris Carmel's sister - Trish Katy's son - Mark Gail's daughter - Meshael Funda and Ben's daughter - Sibel Tracey's daughters - Carrie and Emma I would like to thank the following people: Rays of Sunshine for providing the tshirts for today and for making that wonderful family trip to Tenerife a reality and most importantly for allowing Kayles to fulfill a lifetime's dream of having a holiday abroad in a country she always wanted to visit. Libby (put your hand up) who kindly went out of her way to get a gazebo and helium balloons. Karen - whose love and determination in keeping Kayles memory alive. You've been relentless in your aim to keep her memory alive and I just want to say I love you and I'm here for you. This would not have been possible without you. Thank you. If you would like to grab a glass of Bailey's and a balloon and we'll move out into the grassy area and release them. These balloons are from us all and will ascend to the Heavens filled with our love for those that we love. Three cheers for Kayles and all our loved ones." We then listened to one of the tunes played at Kayles funeral - Missing You by Puff Daddy while we watched the balloons float up into the sky. We raised a total of £2014 for Rays of Sunshine in memory of Kayles.
