However, it was one such trip abroad that ended in tragedy, when Danny was stabbed in the neck and head in a quiet path beside one of Amsterdam’s many canals on June 1, 2022.
Since Danny’s death, his family and friends have been fundraising and campaigning for knife crime charities, aiming to “raise awareness” and educate young people about the dangers of knife crime.
Part of their fundraising efforts include the launch of a small clothing business in memory of Danny, called DRIPPYlikeDANNY.
