Get set for @CRY_UK’s Heart of #London Bridges Walk

This year sees the twentieth anniversary of Cardiac Risk in the Young’s annual Heart of London Bridges Walk. Team Tom has walked on the last nineteen occasions.

We’ll be doing so again on Sunday 28th June and it’s not too late to join us. You can sign-up here.

When CRY supporters set off on that first walk in the summer of 2007, we weren’t among them. We had no idea that Tom had only a few months left to live.

Sadly, other families continue to experience similar loss. Twelve young people aged 14-35 die each week from undiagnosed heart conditions and there is still no national cardiac screening programme.

However, the UK National Screening Committee (UKNSC) is currently consulting on whether to change its recommendation, which is not to support heart screening for young people, and is accepting public comments here.

If you could come on the Bridges Walk to raise awareness or send your comments to the NSC, that would greatly appreciated. Thank you.

PS: Our free heart screenings in Ealing in July are fully booked.
