A successful day of screenings

CRY Ealing screenings, November 2013

Claire and Paul, centre, with the CRY team

Nearly 90 people were tested at the latest free CRY Heart Screenings in Ealing on Sunday, November 10.

Tom’s mum, Claire, said “This is the fifth year in a row we have been able to hold screenings in west London thanks to fund-raising by our friends and supporters. We are pleased that so many people took up the opportunity in the month that would have been Tom’s 21st birthday”

Of the 86 people tested, 8 will have further reviews.

As ever, we are grateful to the CRY team, pictured with us above, for their enthusiasm and professionalism.

CRY’s efforts in contacting people with reminders in advance of the event (thanks Suzanne), paid dividends, with numbers up on last year and fewer cancellations.

Ealing screenings: places may still be available

 

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.

Details of the event can be found at https://tomclabburnfund.co.uk/2013/10/21/the-next-free-heart-screenings-sponsored-by-toms-fund/

Overwhelming

CRY postcard campaign

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.
