Team Tom XIII walks on for @CRY_UK
Gathering for the walk.
It’s a sobering thought that more than eight thousand 14 to 35-year olds will have died since we first walked with CRY in 2008 to raise awareness of undiagnosed heart conditions in young people and to remember Tom.
This year’s CRY Heart of London Bridges Walk had to be cancelled because of coronavirus and so, like many families across the UK, we held our own socially distanced walk in west London.
Remembering Tom and all those like him at the two-minute silence.
Despite the awful situation the country currently finds itself in, we cannot lose sight of the need to ensure that the 12 young people who CRY say die every week from undiagnosed heart conditions are given the chance of a future.
We’re grateful to those who knew Tom for giving up their time and walking, more than a decade after his passing. It’s something we hugely appreciate. I very much hope we can all gather together again in London for a full-length bridges walk next year.
Another bridge crossed.
Stay safe,
Paul and Ellen x
