My story

 

OK, you all know me.  I'm not one of those people who's forever tapping you up for worthy causes.  I do not, and never will do any sort of sporting event or ask for your cash to jump out of a plane (though I'm sure many of you would be willing to see this, possibly sans parachute).

 However, earlier this year my little brother Jack (OK, he's 6'3", but he's still my little brother) lost his girlfriend Hannah very suddenly owing to a heart condition. 

 Shockingly, eight apparently healthy young people every week die from heart conditions.  CRY campaigns for greater awareness and testing for heart conditions; sometimes very treatable conditions are missed by GPs through lack of education.  I know it sounds cliched but if this saves just one family from going through what Hannah's family, Jack, and my family have been through over the last few months, then that has to be a good thing.

 Like I said, I'm not exactly the sporty type, so I'm not going to promise to walk six hundred miles, or climb a mountain or do anything that's going to result in blisters or involves a tent.  However, if you enjoy reading my Plog at www.laurasplog.blogspot.com, and think this is worth a few pence a day, any donations you make would be massively gratefully appreciated.

 Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate: Cardiac Risk in the Young will receive your money electronically and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in Gift Aid will be added to your donation at no cost to you.  Also, the company I work for will double-match any contribution you make.  So, if you donate £10, CRY will receive £30.  Bargain.

You are all stars.  Thank you.
