London Marathon 2025 · 27 April 2025 ·

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

We need no reminding that great pal and Putney teammate Mark Wibberley lost his son Emyln tragically in 2010, who died suddenly while walking to school. It seems so recent.

CRY is Putney Cricket's official charity, and CRY supported me so well when I ran the marathon in 2011 and 2023.

What CRY do is screen for heart defects - luckily we were able to get Henry screened and he was given the all clear. Donations will allow more children to get screened.

I deferred the marathon in 2024, due to knackered knees after the #496 challenge - this time around I'm training properly - off the booze* and going hard to beat my pb of 4h13

Please donate, even a few quid each adds up please. Thanks soooo much.
