Last Sunday saw Carrie appear in 'The Sun' newspaper. 

She has been nominated for the 'Mum Idol of the Year' competition that is being hosted by the paper. They had contacted us during the week to say that she was up for the award and could they come along to take photographs for the article.

It was quite a strange feeling knowing that she was going to be in a national publication. 
We have had articles in local papers and online but this is one of the big daily papers.

We know that this could be a huge thing for the charity as thousands of people all across the world read this paper and they will be reading Carrie and Charlies story.

Carrie was contacted by one of their reporters to get the full story of what happened and where we are today. 
They also contacted Sam (Carries mum) to find out all about the charity and what we are aiming to achieve in the future. They took lots of information from Sam about the website, the campaigning we do, and how we support bereaved families.

They then arranged a time to come along to take the pictures. The photographer was really good and put everyone at ease, even taking them down to the local park to take some images. 

We feel that Charlies Angel Centre is now becoming a nationally known charity, maybe not on a grand scale yet but definitely on the move up. 

With this publicity can only come good and positive things. 

When Sunday came around we all went to the online version of the article to see what it was like. Some of us also went and bought the paper edition as well.

It felt very surreal opening up this national paper and seeing Carries face looking out at us. 
We have always been extremely proud of Carrie and how she dealt with everything despite her young age but now it feels like so many others are now seeing this as well.

The pride we all felt seeing her there and getting over the story of her little boy, Charlie Arthur Curtis,was huge.

It would be great to see Carrie win the award and get some recognition for the amazing job she has done since losing Charlie. However if Carrie doesn't win the award she will always be an 'inspirational mum' to us and to her little angel.
