Stockholm Marathon · 28 May 2011

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 the sudden cardiac death. We do this by providing support, information & screening those affected.

Story

At the end of September, a childhood friend Max Lowry died suddenly, for no apparent reason. He was 34 and in good health. He was the sort of guy who made everyone smile. An amazing character. Artist, singer, impressario. I am running the marathon to help me deal with an unexplainable event that goes against all forces of nature, and to help raise money for a cause that both invests in research into Sudden Death Syndrome, and counsels those who have to suffer most from it. The charity is called CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young). I am also, selfishly, running it to change myself, to recoup the benefits, not just aesthetic, that I found from running my last Marathon in 2006.

 

Please donate. This is a charity with low profile. You have probably never heard of it. But it is helping people dealing with a horrible event. And trying to reduce its occurence.
