Andrew Carter mile raises more than £700 for @CRY_UK #Ealing

About 60 runners took part in the Andrew Carter Memorial Mile on Saturday, September 1, raising more than £700 for Tom and Claire’s Fund and Cardiac Risk in the Young.

The event is held in memory of Andrew, who collapsed from a cardiac arrest during the Ealing Half Marathon in 2014. He died on October 1, 2014. The money raised supports heart screenings in Ealing sponsored by Tom and Claire’s Fund.

Sandra Courtney, one of the Ealing Half Marathon organisers, said: “It was a lovely day and it was great to raise such a large total again.”

Paul Clabburn said: “We are very grateful to all those who ran and to Andrew’s parents. Each year, those who take part play a significant role in ensuring that free CRY screenings can continue.”

This year’s screenings are due to take place in November.
