CRY screened 98 young people for undiagnosed heart conditions in Ealing on Sunday, November 5.

Two people were referred for further investigation and one will have a repeat test in a year’s time.

The free screenings for 14-35-year-olds, sponsored by Tom and Claire’s fund, took place at the Florence Road surgery and Ellen Clabburn said: “We’d like to thank all those who have raised the funds which make the event possible.

“Because of people’s generosity, the Fund has enabled CRY to screen more than 200 people a year since 2009, over 2,600 in total.

“We appreciate that there are lots of other causes but we’d ask people to consider supporting the Fund. The screenings are always over-subscribed and, with growing awareness of the complexity of cardiac conditions in the young, there is a need and demand for such events.

“We’re also very grateful to the CRY team for their professionalism and care on the day and to Dr David Evans and his team for yet again giving us a base for the screenings.”

There will be further screenings in Ealing in 2018.

More than £400 has been raised for Tom’s Fund and CRY by participants in the Andrew Carter Memorial Mile on Saturday, September 2.

Almost 50 runners took part in the event in Lammas Park, Ealing, which was hosted by Ealing Half Marathon CIC.

“We had a lovely morning in the sun” said Sandra Courtney, for the organisers. “Thank you to all the runners and supporters who attended. We raised the money in just an hour and we hope there’s more to be donated online.”

The event is held each year in memory of Andrew, an Ealing resident who passed away after the 2014 Ealing Half Marathon.

Paul Clabburn said: “Once again we are extremely grateful to all who took part and to Andrew’s parents for donating via Tom’s Fund, thereby supporting local heart screening for young people.”

The next screenings in Ealing will be held in November.

Run for @CRY_UK in #Ealing’s Lammas Park this weekend

Andrew Carter Memorial Mile 2016

Some of the 2016 runners ready for the off.

There’s still time to sign-up for this year’s Andrew Carter Memorial Mile, which takes place in Lammas Park, Ealing, on Saturday, September 2.

The run is held in tribute to Andrew, who collapsed from a cardiac arrest shortly before the end of the 2014 Ealing Half Marathon. He passed away the following Wednesday.

Every year since then, a memorial run has been organised in aid of Tom’s Fund and CRY as part of the Mile Series organised by the event organisers of the Ealing Half Marathon.

They say: “This special Mile event is held free of charge to anyone wanting to run, jog or walk our Mile Series course.” They add: “All we ask is that all runners make a donation to the collection tin on the day or donate online here to the Tom Clabburn Fund.”

You can sign up for the run here.
