Andrew Carter Memorial Mile raises hundreds of pounds for @CRY_UK

The sun shone as runners taking part in the annual Andrew Carter Memorial Mile raised more than £425 for Tom and Claire’s Fund and Cardiac Risk in the Young.

The run is held annually in memory of Andrew Carter, who died aged 33 after suffering a cardiac arrest during the 2014 Ealing Half Marathon. 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: “Thanks to all the runners, joggers, walkers and volunteers who supported Ealing Half Marathon’s Andrew Carter Memorial Mile this September. Once again we had a beautiful morning in Lammas Park. We were joined by Andrew’s family and friends as well as others who wanted to take part.”

Paul Clabburn said: “We really appreciate that year after year people run in Andrew’s memory to raise money for CRY. We are also extremely grateful to Andrew’s parents for their ongoing commitment to the charity. We will hold more free heart screenings for young people in Ealing in November and we can only do so because of the efforts of all those taking part in events such as these.”
