Story

Thank you for visiting my Just Giving Page.

I am riding in memory of a team mate at Graham Weigh Racing, Gareth Roberts. He was a genuinely lovely man, who dedicated his life to helping others as a paramedic. Sadly, he died only a few days after returning from a training camp in Majorca in May 2018, from an undiagnosed heart condition. I'm riding in his memory and to help save young lives. 

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
