Story

Aiming to run the equivalent of 52 marathons in 2017 (one for every week of the year), in memory of Emma Broad.

This page was created in memory of Emma who passed away aged 16 in her sleep as a result of sudden cardiac arrest.

Emma was a beautiful and talented person. Her passion in life was hockey and I had the privilege of working with her for a number of years. Representing England, she scored a goal against Germany whilst competing in Valencia during the Easter holidays a few weeks prior to her death. She touched the lives of so many and is dearly missed.

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
