 THOUSANDS of specially-made wristbands will be sold at this Sunday's (4 Sept 05) anti-racism festival in memory of murdered teenager Anthony Walker. A batch of 5,000 are being shipped from China today and are expected to raise £10,000 for the Anthony Walker memorial fund. They will be inscribed with the message In loving memory of Anthony Walker 1987-2005, with the reverse featuring the words of his mother Gee: "Don't let my son's death be in vain." The idea is the brainchild of some of Anthony's former schoolfriends who discussed the idea with the Walker family at a basketball festival in his memory.
Members of the 15 local acts performing in Princes Park, Toxteth, will also wear the wristbands in a public show of unity.
The bands will be on sale at a stall for £2.50.
Organiser Gary Jones said: "Hopefully, they will remind people how important it is to get on with life and enjoy it like Anthony did."
* THE organisers are in need of an eight-foot long Tautliner wagon - a truck which can be converted into a stage. Call 0151-666 1999.
