Claire raises funds and awareness for @CRY_UK

Claire and Ellen at the Brentford Festival

Claire raised £250 by running a second-hand book stall at the Brentford Festival in Blondin Park, Ealing, on Sunday, September 7.

She was delighted with the amount but also pleased at how people responded to the Tom’s Fund stand: “Many people either knew Tom directly or had heard of him and knew about CRY. Many more stopped and looked at our display so we hope that we have helped to raise awareness.”

Claire thanked all those who had helped on the day.

Claire is selling books in aid of Tom’s Fund and CRY at today’s Brentford Festival in Blondin Park, Ealing, W5.

The event runs until 6pm and there are plenty of things to do – more than 100 other stalls and a fun fair are among the distractions – so if you have a moment to visit it would be great to see you.

Claire’s Sunday book sale to support @CRY_UK

Help to prevent 12-a-week.

Claire is striking out into a new venue with her latest book sale – taking one of the 100 stalls at the Brentford Festival in Blondin Park this Sunday.

She’ll be there from 12-6 selling mainly second-hand books in aid of Tom’s Fund.

Other attractions at the show include live bands, food stalls and a dog show so come along and support Claire if you can.

Raindrops keep falling on Claire’s head

Sue Howells, Claire Prosser and Chris Pearson brave the rain.

Claire’s pop-up book sale raised a further £168 for CRY on Saturday – despite the torrential rain.

“I was surprised but really pleased by how much we raised,” said Claire. “I’m also very grateful to all those who bought books and especially to Sue and Chris for helping.”

The money adds to the £870 raised by Claire’s main book sale in May – which also had to contend with wet weather – and means that the two events have raised a grand total of £1038.

The sales take place outside Munson’s Coffee, St Mary’s Road. Ealing. All unsold books are donated to Oxfam in Ealing so nothing goes to waste.

Coffee and £19,000 to go …

With six months to go in Tom’s Fund’s attempt to raise £100,000 to provide more free heart screenings for young people, we are closing in on our target.

After all the brilliant recent support, we are now into the ‘teens’ and need around £19,000 to make the £100k that we’d love to mark the year during which Tom would have been 21.

For my part, rain failed to dampen our spirits – as we used to write in my old newspaper days – when we held our most recent book sale.

With the help of a gazebo belonging to Rob and Caro Sanders and lots of volunteers we managed to raise £870 at the event outside Munsons cafe in South Ealing.

A generous donation from Munsons took us over the £80,000 mark – all of which will go towards CRY’s heart screenings and research.

So hugest thanks once again to Mario and the baristas, customers and helpers who made it such a successful day.

Book sale tomorrow for @CRY_UK

A sale of new and nearly new books at much reduced prices will be held tomorrow in aid of Tom’s Fund in South Ealing.

Come rain or shine, the annual Spring sale will be held by Claire in aid of Tom’s Fund outside Munson’s Cafe at 73 St Mary’s Rd, London W5, from 10am-3pm.

So top up your summer holiday reading while supporting Cardiac Risk in the Young.

All the money raised goes to fund the local free heart-screenings for young people run by CRY. This year’s Ealing screenings are scheduled for November.
