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>Mell Oliver and I are taking part in AUCB's fundraising event 'Leggit' to raise money for Cardiac Risk in the Young. The event starts on the 18th April, and with other teams from our uni, our aim so to get as far away from Bournemouth as we can in 36 hours without spending a single penny! We are relying on the lovely people we meet on the way! If you know me or Mell you will know how adventerous we are, and we intent to do this properly and give it our all!<br />The charity we have picked is Cardiac Risk in the Young, in memory of our friend and photographer, Nick Jarram who died suddenly of an undiagnosed heart condition in 2009.<br />Relatively little is known about Sudden Cardiac Death, but what is known is that it occurs in fit and healthy young people and has few or no warning signs. A simple ECG screening test would highlight a problem and enabled young people to get the preventative medical help required to allow them to live the long and happy lives they should have had.<br />The charity CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) runs a screening program, produces literature aimed at raising awareness of the condition, prodvides financial and technical support for vital research, and runs a bereavement program. For more information please visit <a href="http://www.c-r-y.org.uk/" target="mytarget">www.c-r-y.org.uk</a>. Please help by donating to CRY so they can carry out their vital work, so we can prevent this happening to other young people and their families.<br />To take part in Leggit we only need to raise &pound;50, but for Nick we want to see how much we can get. As an added incentive, we have decided (Mell has decided!!!) that if we hit the &pound;100 mark we will do the whole 36 hour hitch in tiger suits! I'd pay to see that.<br />Thankyou for taking the time to visit my page, please help us by giving any amount you can, no matter how small :)<br />Caitlin</p> <p>xxx</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
