Story
Help us support the Alex Wardle Foundation and the Lily Mae Foundation.
The Alex Wardle Foundation Fund was set up in memory of Alex Wardle, who passed away in March 2016 from Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS). The foundation aims to raise awareness of the condition and to fund cardiac projects in the community for example, screening events and supplying defibrillators.
'The Lily Mae Foundation supports Parents and Families who have tragically and traumatically lost a baby to Stillbirth or to Neonatal Death. Despite its frequency, there is very little public perception of the devastating impact of Stillbirth and Neonatal Death on Parents and their Families.'
This page is to support two local rugby men who will be cycling from John O'Groats to Land's End in May and money raised will be split between these two charities.
Rourkey says:
My friend and training partner Alex died last March from Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS), aged just 23.
On 16th May, over 10 days, I am starting a 1000 mile bike ride with Paul to raise awareness of SADS and raise money in support of the work by the Alex Wardle Foundation.
The Alex Wardle Foundation has been established to help improve awareness, testing for cardiac conditions in young adults, and helping to provide defibrillators for the community to use in emergencies. Access to one with 8 minutes of a cardia arrest can increase the chances of survivial by 80%. You never know when one may be needed to save a life.
The Alex Wardle Foundation is working with the Lilly Mae Foundation which provides help and guidance to families that have suffered the trauma of a still born child.
Please consider making a small contribution to this event to help these foundations grow and develop. It all adds up!
