Cardiac Risk in the YoungVerified by JustGiving

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

James Poynton wrote the words for 'Girl' when he was 8 years old.  Just before his 12th birthday, James died suddenly of an undiagnosed heart condition.

Whilst he was alive, James asked his friend Barry Waring to set the words to music.  Barry did so, and subsequently was honoured to be asked to play the finished song at James' funeral.  The song has now been recorded under the band name Daywalker (Barry Waring and Dave Robinson perform the track).

You can download the song by visiting:

Please consider using this Justgiving page to make a donation to the James Poynton Memorial Fund (within CRY) when you download the song.
