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.

Andrew Carter Memorial Mile runners for CRY

Andrew Carter’s parents join runners at the start of the 2019 memorial mile.

More than £400 was raised by runners taking part in the 2019 Andrew Carter Memorial Mile in Lammas Park, Ealing, on Saturday, September 7.

The event, organised by Ealing Half Marathon, raises money for The Tom Clabburn Memorial Fund and Cardiac Risk in the Young. It’s held annually in memory of Andrew Carter, who died aged 33 after suffering a cardiac arrest during the 2014 Ealing Half Marathon.

Andrew’s parents attended the race and donated a further £1,000, saying: “Our sincere thanks to everyone who ran today in memory of our beloved Andrew, five years on.”

Ellen Clabburn said: “It was a privilege to take part in memory of Andrew and to raise money for CRY. People ran, jogged and walked – I admit to being more jogger than runner.

“It was lovely to meet Andrew’s parents at the end of the race. They are great supporters of CRY and without their help, and that of all those who took part, free heart screenings for young people simply wouldn’t happen in Ealing.”

Details of the next screening, in November, will appear on this site in the week of September 9.

Donations can be made here.
