A few brilliant people are doing frankly ridiculous things in 2026 to try to raise £10,000 on memory of the 10 years since Claire died.

Katie is swimming Coniston (5.5miles), Ullswater (7.5miles) and Windermere (10.5miles - a swimming ultra marathon.

Nathan is running all 26.2 miles of the Malaga marathon - his first ever full marathon.

Other fantastic humans are preparing for other wonderful challenges and events, watch this space!

In 2016, Claire went out on a run as she regularly would, collapsed and died from a sudden cardiac event, she was 27 at the time.

We’re raising money for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) because the work they do genuinely makes a difference.

They support bereaved families like ours through peer grief support, and they offer screening for family members — something that helped reduce the anxiety of “could it happen again?”

They fund vital research (which, as you can imagine, is really expensive!) into the causes of sudden cardiac death, how it can be detected earlier, and how it can be prevented.

They also run screening programmes in communities across the country, helping to identify young people who may have underlying heart conditions — and working to prevent tragedies before they happen.

Helping save lives feels like a pretty good reason to donate a few quid

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.
