Tom’s Fund concentrates on screenings in west London but, following the collapse of Fabrice Muamba on the pitch during a televised match at White Hart Lane, the opportunity arose to work with the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation.
The Foundation runs health projects in the area and helped to promote CRY’s screenings for young people at the club in May 2012.

Ealing Choral Society dedicated their annual charity concert to Tom’s Fund in December 2011.
We were thrilled to find that St Barnabas church in Pitshanger Lane was packed for the event, which raised more than £4,000.

Thanks to Dr David Evans and his team, the screenings were held at the Florence Road Surgery in Ealing for the first time.
Team Tom gathers for the fourth time for the CRY Heart of London Bridges walk in July, 2011.
Claire’s work with Tom’s Fund was recognised locally when she was nominated for an Ealing Gazette “Pride in Our People community award.
In the run-up to Christmas 2010, Tom’s friend Luca Fruzza, along with Rory Lehane, played a 48-hour gaming marathon against the clock to raise money for Tom’s Fund.
Such was the success of the event that they held a follow-up a year later.
Our second year of free heart screenings for young people was part of CRY’s second national Test My Heart tour. Waitrose in West Ealing was kind enough to host the event over three days in November.
For the third year, Team Tom III stepped out as it took part in the CRY Heart of London Bridges Walk in July 2010.
Pictured are some of those who supported us, job done at the end of the walk.
