Story

On 18th June 2021, our friend Tom was shockingly diagnosed with a heart condition called Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome. He was 27 years old when he got his diagnosis, he had suffered from this condition unknowingly all of his life. Thankfully on the 28th February 2022, Tom received his life changing surgery to ease his hearts irregular rhythm and bring it back to a regular beat. 

On Saturday 18th June, 1 year on from Tom’s diagnosis, he will be joining me and many other to walk 20 miles from Edgeley Park, to Old Trafford, over to the Etihad, and back to Edgeley Park.

Undiagnosed Heart Conditions have been in the news frequently over the last 2 years following the, on pitch, cardiac arrest of Danish footballer Christian Eriksen and the premature retirement of Man City legend Sergio Aguero. That is why we are encouraging all participants to wear their clubs colours with pride to show solidarity across all sporting communities, not just football, for those who are diagnosed later in life. CRY help to screen young people for these conditions which may not fully affect you until your adult life, providing essential diagnosis that can lead to effective treatment and surgery. 

We have participants from across the north west joining us on the day as we aim to be a sea of colour as we trek through Stockport, Manchester and Trafford.

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
