Let's send our love for him to the skies - Charnock Richard FC to hold balloon send off for Cole Mason
The ballloon send off will be held this Friday.
A balloon send off for a tragic 11-year-old boy who is sorely missed will be held this Friday at Charnock Richard Football Club.
On January 6, Kim Leighton and her beloved son 11-year-old son Cole were seriously injured after a fire ripped through their family home at Clayton-le-Woods.
Kim, who was placed in an induced coma for a month, has since improved and, while she has a long road to recovery, her main focus in getting better was to provide strength and support for her son.
However, after a long and hard fought battle from her ‘warrior’ son, a devastated Kim announced that he had tragically passed away last week on Friday, May 29.
Anyone wishing to attend should bring biodegradable balloons in green, red and purple and meet at the football grounds from 6pm with the balloon release send off taking place at 7pm.
Kim said: “Let’s come together to celebrate Cole’s life and send our love for him to the skies.”
His funeral will take place on Thursday, June 18, at Charnock Richard Crematorium in Chorley from 3.30pm, to meet 2.45pm at Kenyons funeral home, followed by a service after at Charnock Richard FC.
Kim added: “My beautiful baby boy’s final journey.
“Please wear something red or Manchester United tops in honor of Cole’s favorite club.”
Kim has also requested if anyone has or knows of anyone with a sports car and come follow Cole on his final journey this would be massively appreciated.
