Thank you for taking the time to visit JustGiving.com/carlclayton.  For those of you that were about when I vowed never to do this again are maybe asking why???  Well one reason is to finish below the 4 hour target I set and missed last time, the other is more significant and heartfelt - To run in memory of my little sister Louisa and in doing so to raise as much money for CRY so that Louisa's passing wasn't totally in vain...... 

 

Why Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY)??  In June 2008 at only 21 years old I lost my ‘little’ sister unexpectedly to an undiagnosed heart condition, Louisa went to bed on 8^th June 2008 and didn’t wake up….. leaving behind a distraught family and 2 ½ year old daughter.  Whilst I am unable to bring Louisa back, by carrying out such fund raising activities I can at least contribute to a charity that is working hard to diagnose such conditions and provide counselling services to families like us that have had to go through the same pain as we have.

So, as you can appreciate CRY is a charity that I am keen to support and means a lot to me and my family.  The work that CRY do developing screening tools and cures for such conditions as Louisa’s will absolutely help other families.

Louisa’s condition unfortunately lives on in her daughter Milli and whilst there is no cure currently we are at least are aware and doctors have prescribed medicine to help Milli live a normal life.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Any donations irrespective of amount are greatly appreciated….

Thanks

Carl
