Crystal Owen's son Harvey died alongside three friends in a car accident in North Wales.
A year on from the death of her 17-year-old son, Crystal Owen is launching a charity in his name that hopes to help his memory live on.
"Harvey’s always been creative. He loved art, he loved poetry, he loved all that sort of thing," said Mrs Owen. "Harvey always helped others and always had a soft spot for anybody he ever felt was struggling, so I thought this would sum him up perfectly in terms of helping his memory live on."Following the accident, a JustGiving page was set up for the families. It is this page that has given the Owen family more than £10,000 to launch the charity.
"We’re still in the process of officially setting it up, the bookkeeper is working on that, but it should be in the next couple of weeks."
