Running for Andrew raises more than £900 for @CRY_UK

The start of the Andrew Carter Memorial Mile. — Gathering at the start of the 2021 Andrew Carter Memorial Mile.

The Andrew Carter Memorial Mile took place on Saturday, September 4, for the first time since lock-down and raised more than £900 for Tom and Claire’s Fund and Cardiac Risk in the Young.

About sixty runners took part in the event, commemorating Andrew’s life, in Lammas Park, Ealing. Andrew collapsed from a cardiac arrest during the Ealing Half Marathon and died on October 1, 2014.

Sandra Courtney, one of the Ealing Half Marathon organisers, said: “It was a lovely day. Colin, Joyce and James, Andrew’s parents and brother, were with us again along with more family, his friends and colleagues from AIB Bank and lots more runners who just wanted to support a great cause.”

The money raised supports heart screenings in Ealing sponsored by Tom and Claire’s Fund.

Paul Clabburn said: “We are enormously grateful to all those who ran and donated and to Andrew’s parents and family. They have raised thousands of pounds over the years and played a huge part in ensuring that free heart screenings for young people can take place in Ealing.

“We have been told by CRY that screenings can start again this year, after being halted for the pandemic, and we are planning for an event to be held on November 7. Details will be published on this site nearer the time. Anyone aged 14-35 can apply.”

Fundraisers Jules and Clive take a long and winding road for @CRY_UK

Clive and Juliet.

Cycling four hundred kilometres in five days in temperatures higher than thirty degrees centigrade is the challenge Clive and Juliet Matthews have set themselves as they raise money for Tom and Claire’s Fund.

The pair, from Ealing, are aiming to cycle from Mumbai to Goa between November 30th and December 4th, 2019. You can support them here.

“We will be thinking about Claire and Tom every day that we’re training and cycling,” said Jules, who continues to recover from injuries after being hit by a car in 2015. “I am still very nervous when crossing a road so this is a nerve wracking challenge for me, apart from the fact that my fitness is seriously lacking!”

The couple, who are covering all the costs themselves, will be cycling about seven hours a day. The hot and hilly route will take them south through India.

Clive, who has gone through rigorous checks that his heart is strong enough for the testing conditions, having had a few issues of his own in the past, said: “I love challenges, and this couldn’t be for a better cause. I just hope I haven’t bitten off more than I can chew in the sub-continent.”

Paul Clabburn said: “It’s not the first time Jules and Clive have helped to raise money for the Fund and we’ve extremely grateful for their efforts. They have been great supporters of our family and I hope this latest challenge is a wonderful experience.”

A total of 95 young people aged between 14-35 were screened by Cardiac Risk in the Young at the Florence Road surgery, Florence Road, Ealing, on Sunday, November 4.

The free screenings were sponsored by Tom and Claire’s Fund.

Ellen Clabburn said: “It’s our tenth year of sponsoring such screenings, which is a tremendous tribute to the fund-raising efforts of the local community. They’ve raised the money which enables the screenings to take place and be free at point of use. This simply wouldn’t happen without people supporting the fund and it’s hugely appreciated that they do so.

“We’d like to thank the CRY team for their dedication and professionalism and, as ever, we’re very grateful to Dr Evans and all those at Florence Road surgery for hosting the event.”

Further screenings are planned for Ealing in autumn 2020.
