The Adam Crouch Foundation was set up in loving memory of Adam. Adam was a loving, thoughtful and active 3 year old boy who was full of life and made an impression on many people who were lucky enough to have met him. He tragically drowned in a friends backyard pool on the 12th October 2007. The day was a school holiday social gathering of school friends and their mums. Kids swam during the day but Adam didn't swim and the pool was supervised whilst the kids were swimming. Adam was found in the pool shortly after swimming had finished. The memories he left behind are what drives the Adam Crouch Foundation to try and save other families from the heartbreak of losing a child to drowning.
