One hundred young people aged between 14-35 had their hearts screened for free by Cardiac Risk in the Young in Ealing on Sunday, 4th February. Seven people were referred for further tests.

The event, hosted for the third year in a row by Trailfinders Sports Club in Vallis Way, was sponsored by Tom and Claire’s Fund.

“We’re very grateful to all those who have donated and enabled the screenings to take place,” said Paul Clabburn. “As ever, we are also indebted to Trailfinders for their support and to the CRY team who do such an amazing job.”

Further screenings in Ealing are planned for 2025.

Two days of free CRY heart screenings sponsored by Tom and Claire’s Fund took place at Trailfinders Sports Club in Ealing on Saturday, February 4 and Sunday, February 5.

Ninety-three young people aged 14-35 were screened on the first day and ninety-nine on the second. A total of seven were referred for further tests.

Tony Hill, CRY’s family screening manager, said: “Trailfinders is a lovely venue, everybody is very welcoming and the staff can’t do enough for us, they’re all incredibly helpful. We look forward to returning.”

Ellen Clabburn said: “It’s so impressive to see the CRY team at work, carrying out nearly 200 screenings over two days is a real feat. They pulled out all the stops and we really appreciate that. We are also, of course, very grateful to Trailfinders Club for hosting us once more.”

Tom and Claire’s Fund plan more screenings in Ealing in early 2024. Other family screenings will be held before that throughout the UK. You can book here or pre-register your interest in future screenings here.

Tom’s 30th birthday and @CRY_UK heart screenings

If Tom hadn’t died from an undiagnosed heart condition in 2007, today, November 27, would have been his 30^th birthday.

Instead, he became one of the 12 young people aged 14-35 who CRY estimates die each week from an undiagnosed heart condition.

That’s almost 10,000 young people who have died since Tom.

CRY has carried out more than 200,000 heart screenings and the evidence suggests:

One in every 300 will have a potentially life-threatening condition.

One in every 100 will have a less serious condition that might cause problems in later life.

Tom’s Fund has sponsored free CRY heart screenings in west London since 2008. The support has been incredible and is greatly appreciated. It’s made possible the testing of more than 3,000 young people, the purchase of screening equipment and contributions towards CRY’s research programme.

Both the demand for screenings and the cost of holding them is rapidly increasing. Economic times are tough and there are many charities out there but if you could find a way to support the Fund we’d be extremely grateful. Whatever amount you can donate, thank you, it all helps. Please click here.

A total of 99 young people aged 14-35 received free cardiac screening from CRY at the Olympic Pavilion, Trailfinders, Ealing, on Sunday, November 13.

Six people were referred for follow-up tests after the event, sponsored by Tom and Claire’s Fund.

Ellen Clabburn said: “We’re very grateful to Trailfinders for once again playing host. We knew it would be a busy day, the screenings were fully booked within ninety minutes of being online, but, as ever, the CRY team coped brilliantly.

“We’ll be back at Trailfinders early in 2023 for a further two days of screening. Keep an eye on our site for further information.”
