HAMILTON, Craig

HAMILTON, Craig (Foxrock) (Seventeenth Anniversary) - So very many happy memories of a loving son and brother. Robin, Pat and Heather.

Craig attended St Brigids NS in Stillorgan & St Andrews Booterstown, where he made so many good friends. He played Rugby and Hockey for St Andrews enjoying both enormously.

Craig passed away on 1st January 1999 aged 14. He had stayed up to welcome in the New Year and kissed his family good night going to bed, but never woke up again.

Craig died due to SADS (Sudden Adult Death Syndrome)

Following his death his family and friends organised a Charity Walk to raise money in his name towards a Millenium project at St Brigids Church. A friend Robert Binning ran in the Dublin City Marathon. In total €12,700 was raised which was used in part for equipment in the church Youth Club. The residue is now being used towards a play area at St Brigids Playschool.

Madeline Mullan, a family friend, ran in the Womens Mini Marathon in June 2010 raising over €1,000 in Craig's memory for the charity CRY Ireland (Cardiac Risk in the Young).
