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

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

It's all over.  I finished my second of two marathons in 4-weeks yesterday completing the Windermere marathon in 3hr35mins.  The London marathon was equally tough and I finished a very hot race on 3hr30mins.

Now I'm gonna put my feet up for a few a while.

A huge thanks to everyone who has sponsored me and supported me raising money for this worthy cause.

WHAT FOR? I am running the London Marathon and Windermere Marathon within within 4-weeks of each other and hoping to raise money for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY).

WHY CRY?  It is estimated that 80% of unexplained sudden deaths that have occurred under the age of 35 are caused by inherited/congenital structural or functional cardiovascular abnormalities. It is known that upto eight deaths a week in the young are due to cardiovascular diseases, and that may just be the tip of the iceberg. 

CRY raises awareness of Cardiac Risk in the Young and Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) and provides medical information on cardiac abnormalities and Sudden Death Syndrome.

Many thanks for your support.
