Around 800 people took part in this year’s annual Cardiac Risk in the Young Heart of London Bridges Walk on Sunday, 25 July.

Team Tom 16 walked again in memory of Tom and Claire, setting off from Southwark Park on a six mile route that crossed several of the capital’s iconic bridges.

“We’re extremely grateful to all those who walked, especially on such a hot day,” said Paul Clabburn. “It was a tremendous effort and we really appreciate people choosing to spend their time supporting CRY.

“It’s the first Bridges walk since the recent death of Tom’s Grandpa, Gordon Prosser. Gordon was a great supporter of CRY and already 76 when Team Tom first walked in 2008. He completed the course for the last time in 2019 when 87 and, but for lockdown, he’d probably have managed one or two more. It felt right to walk in his memory too.

“Thank you as well to all those who kindly donated to Tom and Claire’s Fund to mark the occasion of the walk.”

While it took place, Tom’s sister, Ellen, and her friends promoted CRY at Glastonbury festival, sporting Heart of London Bridges T-shirts.

Tributes were paid before the start of the walk to the late Kathryn Harries, opera singer and CRY patron, who came up with the idea of the CRY Bridges Walk. I well remember Kathryn always taking the time to talk and listen to those taking part in the event. Our condolences to her family.
