Supporting CRY: Debbie, Elaine, Alison, Isabel, Sue and Faith.

A book sale for Tom and Claire’s Fund raised £806 for CRY outside Munson’s coffee shop, Ealing, on Saturday, May 16.

Organiser Sue Howells said: “Claire’s friends were delighted with the amount raised and to continue the book sale tradition that she had begun.

“After a cloudy, chilly start, the sun shone and brought out plenty of buyers. I’m very grateful to all those who contributed so generously and to all who helped.”

Our thanks too, to Sue and to all those who gave their time on the day.

George is one Tough Mudder for @CRY_UK

CRY, George Pearson.

George completes the Ealing Eagles 10k.

CRY supporter George Pearson completed a 10-mile Tough Mudder endurance event and the Ealing Eagles 10k on successive weekends to raise money and awareness for Tom and Claire’s Fund.

George, who has raised more than £800, said after the Sunday, May 10, race in Gunnersbury Park, Ealing: “The 10k was hard, especially as I’d thought it would be a breeze after the Tough Mudder event the previous Sunday. It turned out to be as much of a struggle but was still well worth it.

“I finished 67th overall in 00:43:57, which was a personal best, so I was pleased with the result, really pleased!”

Reflecting on the two events, George said: “It’s been nearly 30k run over three hours on two Sunday mornings and along the way there has been tear gas, ice baths, log carries, electroshock therapy and lots and lots of mud.

“But to create awareness for what is an important cause and raise 160%+ of my target was an incredible part of what was also a fantastic experience. It’s the first of many fundraising journeys on my part, running for those who can’t.”

As ever, huge thanks to George for putting in the miles on behalf of the Fund.

Book sale CP and Sue

Claire and Sue at Munson’s.

A new and nearly new book sale in aid of Tom and Claire’s Fund and CRY will be held outside Munson’s coffee shop, 73 Saint Mary’s Road, South Ealing, W5 5RG, between 10am-3pm next Saturday, May 16.

The event is being organised by a friend of Claire’s, Sue Howells, who said: “Claire was passionate about books and about fundraising for CRY. A group of her friends and colleagues have committed to continue these events in her memory and, of course, in memory of Tom.

“She always valued the support of the local community and so to carry on the tradition of holding the sale outside her favourite coffee shop, Munson’s, seems very fitting indeed!”
