Kilimanjaro

Yep, I can see him.

Chris Cockburn is off to Africa in his bid to climb Mount Kilimanjaro to raise awareness and funds for CRY.

He’s already done a terrific job raising awareness; you can read about the challenge he’s taking on here http://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/news/young-man-scale-mountain-raise-6414300 and here http://www.ealingtoday.co.uk/default.asp?section=info&page=eacrychris001.htm

If you know anyone who might be looking to offer sponsorship, Chris’s Justgiving page is at http://www.justgiving.com/christophercockburn and he’s only 40 quid off his target.

So good luck Chris, we hope you have a terrific experience with both the teaching and the climbing. Thanks for supporting CRY and Tom’s Fund.

In at the deep end with the ‘Bath Half’

Louise and Ella enter the "Bath Half"

Louise and Ella

University student Ella Brown is tackling her first ever half-marathon next year in aid of Tom’s Fund and CRY.

Ella and her friend Louise Kirk will be taking part in the ‘Bath Half’ – the Bath half-marathon – in March 2014.

Ella, studying Ancient History at the University of Bristol, is a daughter of CRY patron Ben Brown. She said she hoped running in the event would encourage young people to be screened.

“I’ve never run anywhere except for a bus before so this is a pretty big challenge! We’re really hoping we can do everyone proud and complete it, as well as raising money for CRY. It’s a great charity providing invaluable support as well as research into cardiac conditions.

“My siblings have both been screened, and it was an incredibly easy and friendly experience that can give you such peace of mind.”
