It seems fitting, given today is the anniversary of Tom’s death, that we’ve learned CRY’s Ealing screenings on Sunday, November 4, are now fully booked.
The free screenings are held in memory of Tom and Claire. I hope the 113 people who will have their hearts tested leave with nothing more than reassurance. I also hope they all turn up – or let CRY know in advance if they can’t – as the screenings have a long waiting list and someone can take their place.
There is plainly a huge demand for such screenings. That they are free is due to all those people who have raised the money which has allowed Tom and Claire’s Fund to sponsor heart testing for more than 2,500 young people since 2009.
But it’s not a bottomless pot. The money is running out and, unless we raise more, the screenings scheduled for 2020 could be our last. So if you’re thinking of raising money for charity, please consider Tom and Claire’s Fund.
NB: Our Fund, like all CRY family funds, is administered by Cardiac Risk in the Young, a registered charity. Money raised by the Fund can only be used to support screenings, research or the purchase of medical equipment by CRY.

About 60 runners took part in the Andrew Carter Memorial Mile on Saturday, September 1, raising more than £700 for Tom and Claire’s Fund and Cardiac Risk in the Young.
The event is held in memory of Andrew, who collapsed from a cardiac arrest during the Ealing Half Marathon in 2014. He died on October 1, 2014. The money raised supports heart screenings in Ealing sponsored by Tom and Claire’s Fund.
Sandra Courtney, one of the Ealing Half Marathon organisers, said: “It was a lovely day and it was great to raise such a large total again.”
Paul Clabburn said: “We are very grateful to all those who ran and to Andrew’s parents. Each year, those who take part play a significant role in ensuring that free CRY screenings can continue.”
This year’s screenings are due to take place in November.

CRY screened 98 young people for undiagnosed heart conditions in Ealing on Sunday, November 5.
Two people were referred for further investigation and one will have a repeat test in a year’s time.
The free screenings for 14-35-year-olds, sponsored by Tom and Claire’s fund, took place at the Florence Road surgery and Ellen Clabburn said: “We’d like to thank all those who have raised the funds which make the event possible.
“Because of people’s generosity, the Fund has enabled CRY to screen more than 200 people a year since 2009, over 2,600 in total.
“We appreciate that there are lots of other causes but we’d ask people to consider supporting the Fund. The screenings are always over-subscribed and, with growing awareness of the complexity of cardiac conditions in the young, there is a need and demand for such events.
“We’re also very grateful to the CRY team for their professionalism and care on the day and to Dr David Evans and his team for yet again giving us a base for the screenings.”
There will be further screenings in Ealing in 2018.
