The CRY postcard campaign

CRY postcard campaign
 
CRY’s screening-based research programme revealed that far from the UK losing eight young lives a week to undiagnosed heart conditions – a terrible figure in itself – the number was actually at least 12.
 
CRY relaunched its postcard campaign in October 2008 to reflect this and Tom was among those featured. We still find looking at all the young faces on this postcard extremely upsetting.

One year on

Raising awareness via the Spurs programme
 
To raise awareness of the heart-related risks facing young people, we marked the first anniversary of Tom’s death by placing an advert in the Tottenham programme for a match that fell on October 5.
 
This was a personal initiative by the family, no money from Tom’s Fund was used to pay for the advert.

Team Tom and our first Bridges Walk

Ealing Times, July 2008

 
Cardiac Risk in the Young, CRY, have held a Heart of London Bridges Walk every year since the summer of 2007. We walk to remember Tom and all those like him.
 
At the time of our first walk in July 2008, the eight bridges crossed symbolised the eight young lives believed to be lost every week to undiagnosed heart conditions. Now we know it’s at least 12.

“Team Tom” has walked to raise funds and awareness every year since then. We are grateful to the hundreds of people who have supported us over that period, many of whom have been with us every year.
