My friend, Jordan Grant, a young man who appeared fit and healthy to all around him sadly passed away suddenly on the 4th February 2012, aged 17, from an undiagnosed heart condition. I will be running this marathon in his memory and raising funds for CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young).

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.
