Brighton Marathon 2012 · 15 April 2012 ·

Cardiac Risk in the Young Verified by JustGiving
RCN 1050845 (England & Wales), SC052581 (Scotland)
Each week at least twelve young people in the UK die suddenly as a result of undiagnosed heart conditions. At Cardiac Risk In the Young we aim to save young lives & to help those affected by young sudden cardiac death (YSCD). We do this by providing support, information & screening those affected.

Story

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">If you know either of us, you'll know that we've spent most of our lives avoiding any form of physical exercise. United at school by our common hatred of PE, we failed table tennis, and achieved 'D' grades in GCSE Dance (which, if you're literate, is basically impossible).</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">You might be surprised to learn that this year we've decided to do a marathon. Do. Not necessarily run. Possibly walk. Possibly crawl. But we still both feel very proud to have worked up the courage to appear in public wearing bumbags and trainers.</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">We'll need all the encouragement we can get. If you're free to come and cheer us on (it might be funny), and have a drink on the finishing line (we'll both be drunk in about 5 minutes) we'd be glad of the support. The event is taking place in Brighton, on Sunday 15th April.&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica;"><span style="font: 12.0px Helvetica;">We're also raising money for charity, so any donation is appreciated. </span><strong><em>Cardiac Risk in the Young</em></strong> (<strong>CRY</strong>) helps to raise awareness of cardiac risk and Sudden Death Syndrome. The organisation promotes the heart screening of young people&nbsp; and contributes to medical research. The charity also offers support to those who have suffered a loss through a network of affected families &amp; counselling groups.&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; min-height: 16.0px;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica;">Donations can be made through this page. Any contributions will mean a lot to us, and the charity. As we said, we will need a LOT of encouragement!</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica; min-height: 16.0px;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Helvetica;">Love from Hannah and Beth</p> <div></div>
