Kavi smashes his target for @CRY_UK

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.

At least 1,200 people took part in CRY’s Heart of London Bridges Walk on Sunday, June 23, the biggest turnout since before the pandemic.

Team Tom walked for the seventeenth time and it was wonderful to see how many people participated in Tom and Claire’s memory. Some had travelled long distances to be there.

“We’ve walked every year that there’s been a CRY Bridges Walk since 2008,” said Paul Clabburn. “To be joined by such a large group after so many years was inspiring. Ellen and I would like to say a huge thanks to all who took part. It really is appreciated.”
