I’m delighted that Jess Brown-Fuller, my MP in Chichester, has signed CRY’s pledge calling for a national strategy for the prevention of sudden cardiac death among young people. You can read more about CRY’s pledge here.
Jess has also tabled the following written parliamentary questions:
“To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has explored the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in electrocardiogram (ECG) diagnostics.”
“To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to improve access to cardiac screening for young people.”
It’s terrific that Jess has taken such an interest and it’s much appreciated.
In March, Jess sponsored an Early Day Motion which highlighted the importance of CRY’s recent large-scale study, showing that heart checks save lives, and also of campaigns to raise awareness about cardiac risk in young people.
Worthing Golf Club’s new men’s captain, Tim Dunn, has chosen Tom and Claire’s Fund and CRY as his charity for the year.
Tim’s stint as captain kicked off on Sunday, 22nd March, with a ‘drive-in’, a traditional ceremony in which the captain hits a ball off the 1st tee to start his year. A large crowd of members, family and friends watched.
“I am looking forward to a very exciting twelve months ahead,” said Tim, “CRY means a great deal to me due to the loss of my wife’s cousin’s son, Tom, from an undiagnosed heart condition.
“I am therefore delighted to support this amazing charity and hope I can raise sufficient funds to host a screening session at the golf club for members, children and grandchildren.
Tim’s wife, Hannah, said “I am thrilled that Tim has chosen to raise funds for CRY during his captaincy.
“The charity is very dear to me as I sadly lost my cousin’s son, Tom, due to his undetected heart condition, and later lost my cousin, Claire. So, this is in loving memory of them both, Tom Clabburn and Claire Prosser.
“I have previously raised funds for CRY by skydiving and abseiling, which was both terrifying and exhilarating. My efforts this year will be a little more sedate!”
Paul Clabburn said: “Ellen and I are deeply touched that Tim is supporting CRY, and we also appreciate the work Hannah is putting in behind the scenes.
“We have fingers and everything else crossed that Tim has a bumper year and manages to fund a screening at the club. It would be a wonderful achievement.
“Whatever happens, we’re very grateful to both Tim and Hannah for doing so much to raise awareness of undiagnosed heart conditions and cardiac screening.”
