On 14 July this year I will be attempting the World famous Alcatraz to San Francisco swim. Although it is only a couple of miles I will be braving the strong currents, cold water and sharks! I hope to make it across in one piece. I'm trying to raise £500 to support the fantastic work that Cardiac Risk in the Young undertake.

Every week in the UK at least 12 apparently fit and healthy young people die of undiagnosed cardiac conditions. With your donation, CRY can reduce the frequency of young sudden cardiac death (YSCD) by working with cardiologists and family doctors to establish good practice and appropriate screening facilities to promote and protect the cardiac health of our young. By supporting CRY you will help save young lives from these potentially fatal cardiac conditions. See how your support can help by visiting www.c-r-y.org.uk
