Sharing this message and video by the Katie Haines Memorial Trust (UK) in memory of Katie Haines who tragically lost her life to CO poisoning 10 years ago this week. Since then her family has worked diligently to spread awareness about the dangers of CO in the UK and when traveling.
On 18th February 2010 our beloved daughter Katie was killed by accidental carbon monoxide poisoning, a few months after her fairytale wedding in the Cotswolds. We know that our pain is shared by so many others who knew and loved her. Katie’s loss has left a massive void in our lives that can never be filled. We are fortunate that we had so many videos of our children growing up – and we are grateful to Robert Lyon for going through these for us – something we would have found difficult to do – and for putting together these memories of our beautiful daughter’s short life. We will continue to strive to raise awareness and prevent others from losing a beloved member of their family from this ‘silent killer’. Please make sure your carbon burning appliances are regularly serviced and maintained by registered engineers and your chimneys swept by registered sweeps and install one or more audible carbon monoxide alarms.
This is, and I’m sure always will be, a difficult film for us to watch but we want others to know how proud and fortunate we were to have had Katie in our lives.
Avril, Gordon, Lydia and Adam.
PS – please share with your friends – and keep them safe.
