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.

The first free heart screenings for young people sponsored by Tom’s Fund were held over three days at Brentford Football Club in June 2009. After fund-raising for more than a year, around 300 people were tested as part of CRY’s first national screening tour.

Brentford’s then manager, Andy Scott, a CRY patron, supported the event. He was forced to stop playing football when diagnosed with a heart condition.
