Dear All,

If you know me at all you would know that this definitely is not the type of thing that I would sign up to. Therefore please sponsor me as I suspect that this will be an "only once and never again" kind of event!

Each year our colleagues choose a Charity of the Year to focus all our fundraising efforts on for the whole year.

We are pleased to say that Cardiac Risk in the Young has been chosen and we can’t wait to start raising money for this extremely worthy cause.

We have a lot of fundraising ideas and are looking forward to getting involved in raising as much money as we can.

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 people.

By supporting CRY you will help save young lives from these potentially fatal cardiac conditions.
