Tom’s Fund will be going further afield – and all for a very good cause.
CRY screenings are going to be held for the first time on the Isle of Wight and they will part-funded by Tom’s Fund.
The driving force behind the idea is Claire’s cousin, Helen Barnes, who lives in Ryde. She has been fund-raising for Tom’s Fund ever since Tom died, selling books at the school where she works, the Sandown Bay Academy, and coming on the Bridges Walk.
She suggested running screenings at the school for its students and so the school are funding a day and we are funding the other. Some 200 young people will be screened at the Academy on Jan 28-29.
We will also be holding our usual screenings in Ealing later this year.

Yep, I can see him.
Chris Cockburn is off to Africa in his bid to climb Mount Kilimanjaro to raise awareness and funds for CRY.
He’s already done a terrific job raising awareness; you can read about the challenge he’s taking on here http://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/news/young-man-scale-mountain-raise-6414300 and here http://www.ealingtoday.co.uk/default.asp?section=info&page=eacrychris001.htm
If you know anyone who might be looking to offer sponsorship, Chris’s Justgiving page is at http://www.justgiving.com/christophercockburn and he’s only 40 quid off his target.
So good luck Chris, we hope you have a terrific experience with both the teaching and the climbing. Thanks for supporting CRY and Tom’s Fund.
