A fully booked day of screenings sponsored by Tom and Claire’s Fund is underway at Drayton Manor High School, Drayton Bridge Road, W7. As ever, it could not have happened without all of you who have fund-raised.

Tom was a student at Drayton Manor and the idea of holding the event at the school came from one of his teacher’s, Caroline Bischoff, who has also raised awareness of CRY among pupils.

Paul Clabburn said: “We’re very grateful to Caroline for coming up with the idea and we’d like to thank Liz Stephenson and Guy Heyhoe from Drayton Manor for working with CRY in planning the event. We’re also grateful to Sir Pritpal Singh, head teacher, for allowing the premises to be used.

“It was lovely to be able to catch-up with the CRY screening team, some of whom we have worked with many times before. It’s fantastic that those being screened have the benefit of being tested by such a highly experienced and motivated team.”

12 weeks to go before the @CRY_UK London Bridges Walk 2015

CRY Bridges 2014

We’d be thrilled if you could join Team Tom VIII for the 9th annual Cardiac Risk in the Young London Bridges walk, taking place on Sunday, June 28.

You can register for the event here .

Don’t worry if you can’t fund-raise, the event is as much about raising awareness as cash. After eight years of walking, CRY understand that it’s not easy to keep trying to obtain sponsorship.

So enjoy a stroll through the centre of town to mark CRY’s 20th anniversary year and wear the CRY T-shirt.

Claire believed it was an important way to promote the message that the loss of 12 young lives a week was unacceptable. She was determined never to miss a Bridges Walk. It would be lovely if you could help us keep that commitment alive.

Mother and child reunion in aid of CRY

 

CRY Johnsons running

Elizabeth and Charlotte

 

Charlotte Johnson and her mum, Elizabeth Adams, will be running the Edinburgh Marathon in May 2015 in memory of Tom Clabburn, who was in the year below Charlotte at High School, and his mum, Claire Prosser, a friend of Elizabeth’s. They’ll be raising money for Cardiac Risk in the Young.

Charlotte has been running for four years and dragged Elizabeth to her first park run three years ago. They have trained and raced together since, completing the Ealing Half Marathon twice, the Serpentine New Year’s 10k, and the Ealing Eagles 10k.

As Charlotte is studying in Scotland, it was only natural that they take part in the Edinburgh Marathon. It will, reluctantly, be Elizabeth’s first marathon and Charlotte’s second. Both are aiming to complete the 26.2 miles in 4 hours.

Charlotte said: “The generosity of friends and family who have donated make the early mornings, the aches and pains, the exhaustion and the tears undoubtedly worth it.

“CRY do amazing work raising awareness of conditions like Tom’s and making free heart screenings available for 14 to 35 year olds. It put my family’s minds at rest knowing that each of my brothers have been screened and no irregularities found.

“My mum and I are very proud to be donning the CRY t-shirts for the Edinburgh Marathon and knowing that we have raised awareness and donations for such a valuable cause in memory of Tom and Claire will really help to provide a psychological boost when we are flagging.”

If you’d like to support Charlotte and Elizabeth, you can do so here.

Ellen Clabburn said: “I got to know Charlotte on a school ski trip but in contrast to me she’s clearly kept up with the exercise! It means so much that she and Elizabeth are running in memory of mum, Tom and CRY.”
