There have been some cancellations for Sunday’s free heart screenings in Ealing.
If you want to be on the waiting list in case of any further drop-outs, please contact Suzanne at CRY by emailing suzanne@c-r-y.org.uk. She’s back in the office on Thursday so you’re unlikely to get a response before then.
We’re not sure how likely there are to be spaces as the event has been over-subscribed but it is worth a try.

Launch day was unbelievable – thank you to all those who followed us yesterday on Twitter and liked us on Facebook. We have been overwhelmed by the support.
We’ve even had our first offer of a fund-raiser – more on that when things firm up a bit but if you have any thoughts, please let us know. We want to raise £30,000 in 12 months to mark Tom’s 21st. It’s a big ask but if you don’t ask …
It was great to see so many show their support who had gone to school(s) with Tom or knew him from football, Questors or elsewhere. We old folk can try our best with websites but CRY is a charity for and about young people as CRY’s postcard campaign graphically illustrates.
So whether you’re getting yourself sponsored or sticking up a CRY poster at your business or college, it all counts and is appreciated.
Getting the word out at a uni or workplace can really make a difference. If you want leaflets or posters, let us know via the comment form on the Contact Us page.
PS: We had a problem with a flickering screen on pcs caused, it seems, by the carousel of images. We’ve turned off the automatic animation while we sort it out. If there’s still a problem in the meantime, please let us know.

Tom would have been 21 at the end of this month. We wish we were celebrating that milestone with him.
Instead we are marking the launch of our new website which will carry news and information about Tom’s legacy, the Tom Clabburn Memorial Fund.
We do not think it right that Tom and so many like him lose their lives when screening might save them.
We know that many of you feel the same because since its launch in 2008, Tom’s Fund has raised more than £70,000 for the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young, CRY. That’s down to family, friends and supporters in west London and we are hugely grateful to them all.
That generosity has enabled us to hold free heart screenings in west London every year since 2009. The 2013 screenings, this coming Sunday, are already fully booked. As usual, they were over-subscribed.
We’d like to mark Tom’s 21st by trying to raise £30,000 over the coming year, which would mean the fund reaching £100,000. If we could do that it would secure free screening in west London for many years ahead and also help to fund CRY’s vital research programme.
If you’d like to help in any way, you can do so via the Support Tom’s Fund/ Contact Us page.
You can also follow Tom’s Funds updates via Twitter, Facebook or email.
