A turnout to be proud of in support of @CRY_UK

Before the off : the unofficial photo of Team Tom VII that didn’t quite fit everyone in!

 

Tom would have been amazed – and more than a little humbled – by the large numbers joining Team Tom VII for CRY’s eighth London Bridges Walk today. We certainly were.

Nearly 50 people joined us to walk in memory of Tom and in support of CRY. To get such a turnout seven years after we first walked is inspiring.

It was particularly moving to hear some of the memories of Tom recounted by his friends.

If you took any pictures and would like to share them with us, please do. We’d be happy to publish them along with those below, many of which were taken by David Bentley.

Overall, more than 950 people had registered for the walk by the beginning of the week and it looks as though for the second year in a row the final total will be more than a thousand.

A special thanks, therefore, to Rebecca Zouvani and the team at CRY who plan a walk that has become bigger with each successive year. They cope with a myriad of complex and changing challenges while managing to ensure that the event stays sharply focussed on Tom and all those like him.

Perhaps one day we won’t be writing about the 12 young people that we lose every week to undiagnosed heart conditions. Perhaps then we’ll simply walk in memory of those we have lost. But until that day, to all of you who have just given up your Sunday to walk or who have supported us or Tom’s Fund over the past year, thank you. CRY needs you.

Join Cardiac Risk in the Young on Sunday morning for its eighth annual London Bridges Walk.

It’s not too late to register – you can do so on the day. For details click here.

You also don’t need to raise sponsorship. Great if you can but it’s as much about raising awareness.

So come along on Sunday to remember Tom and all those like him and to get CRY’s message across – #12aweek is 12 too many.

Walk the walk, wear the T-shirt! Sign up for Cardiac Risk in the Young’s eighth annual London Bridges Walk on Sunday 6th July by clicking here.

The route includes great views of at least 12 of London’s famous landmarks, representing the 12 young sudden cardiac deaths that occur each week in the UK.

That’s 12 too many. The vast majority of young people aged 14-35 who die could have been diagnosed and treated by screening.

Please help to get the message across by signing up for the walk.

Join us and walk London’s Bridges to support @CRY_uk

Team Tom 2013

Team Tom VI – the 2013 Bridges squad.

The eighth CRY London Bridges walk is in two months time, on July 6.

It would be great if you could join us.

Raising awareness is just as important as raising funds so if you feel awkward about yet again asking people for cash, you don’t have to. Simply register, wear the T-shirt and walk.

More than 1,200 people took part last year, the biggest number to date. It’s not an endurance test, just a stroll for a couple of hours across the Bridges and a pleasant way to see some of London’s landmarks while raising CRY’s profile.

Full details and a registration form can be found by clcking here. Mark on your registration form that you are walking for Team Tom.

Hope to see you there!
