The family of tragic Kory McCrimmon will join a ‘Parents Against Knives’ march in Glasgow<\/a> today.<\/p>\n Hundreds are set to walk through the streets of the city from Ibrox Stadium to Celtic Park at 1pm.<\/p>\n Kory died after an attack involving a bladed weapon on May 31, 2024. He was found seriously injured in the city\u2019s Greenfield Park.<\/a><\/p>\n Ahead of the march his family vowed the 16-year-old\u2019s life \u201cwill not be in vain\u201d <\/a>as they urged others to join the walk.<\/p>\n The march <\/a>comes in the wake of the deaths of teenagers Amen Teklay and Kayden Moy in separate incidents in recent weeks. The tragedies have taken place amid the Record’s Our Kids … Our Future campaign, which was launched two years ago in response to a youth violence epidemic.<\/p>\n In a statement issued through Victim Support Scotland, Kory\u2019s family previously said: \u201cKory McCrimmon\u2019s young life was a brushstroke in time but we his family wish for his death to make a difference: Kory\u2019s life will not be in vain.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cOur aim here is to continue highlighting the increase in deaths and danger by knife and violent crime. Our sons and daughters are more than statistics, they deserve better.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cKory\u2019s parents are very clear: if we can prevent at least one more family going through this life-shattering agony, we have gone a long way in our mission, but let\u2019s go further.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cWe walk in Kory\u2019s <\/a>name but we stand for all those lives lost or maimed to knife violence: too much, too many. No more.<\/p>\n \u201cCome join our walk and lend your hearts and voices to making our streets, our young people<\/a> and our lives safer.\u201d<\/p>\n Two boys aged 14 and 16 have appeared in court charged with murder following the death<\/a> of 15-year-old Amen in the Maryhill area of Glasgow on March 5.<\/p>\n Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.<\/p>\n You’ll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.<\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.<\/p>\n All you have to do is click here if you’re on mobile<\/strong><\/a>, select ‘Join Community’ and you’re in!<\/p>\n If you’re on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click ‘Join Community’.<\/p>\n We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
