If you can join us at this year’s CRY Heart of London Bridges walk, we would love to see you.
The event takes place on Sunday, June 22, and you don’t have to raise money. Just by taking part you help to raise awareness that we are still losing 12 young people aged between 14-35 every week to undiagnosed heart conditions.
You can read about the walk and register here. We hope to see you there.

Our Cardiac Risk in the Young free heart screenings at Ealing Trailfinders Sports Club on Sunday have been featured in reports by BBC News.
Part of the BBC’s UK Heart Month coverage, they include interviews with fellow bereaved families and can be watched on our Instagram, Linked-In and Facebook pages.
Ninety-seven young people were tested by CRY at Trailfinders Sports Club in Ealing on Sunday, 2 February.
The free event takes the total number of young people aged 14-35 tested by Tom and Claire’s Fund to more than 3,300 since our first screening in 2009. That’s only possible because of the generosity of those who have supported us and donated over so many years. Thank you.
We are very grateful to the CRY team, who were as lovely and professional as ever, and to the staff of Trailfinders, who once again made us feel so welcome.
A film crew also attended the screenings and it seems CRY might appear on BBC Breakfast this week in a feature about Heart Month 2025. One to set the record button for.
Wishing all the wonderful people who have supported Tom and Claire’s Fund and Cardiac Risk in the Young over the past year a happy and healthy 2025.

Kavi Luchowa raised more than three times his target amount for CRY when running in memory of Tom at the Ealing Half-Marathon.
Having aimed to raise £300, Kavi’s total currently stands at more than £1,000. There’s also the promise of more to come with his employer, Smartodds, having said they will match the amount raised up to £1,000.
Kavi, a friend and teammate of Tom’s when they played together for Hanwell Town, said: “It was really great to take part and the support of the crowd and volunteers on the way around was incredible.
“It was topped off by raising a lot more than I expected – I will definitely be running again next year despite my legs being in pain!”
Two of Kavi’s sisters, Tara and Surya, also took part to raise awareness for CRY.
Ellen Clabburn said: “It was a fantastic atmosphere and I managed to spot Kavi in the last mile as he sped past. He did brilliantly and didn’t even seem to be out of breath at the end!
“We’re so grateful to Kavi and his sisters for taking part and promoting CRY, it’s a wonderful effort.”
Kavi’s fund-raising page is still open here.
