Our latest charity event is in memory of Jamie Vincent, who tragically passed away earlier this year. His family would like to raise money for Cardiac Risk in the Young.

Jamie Vincent played professional football from 1993 to 2012, starting with the Wimbledon youth team, playing in over 400 games for the likes of Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, Huddersfield, Portsmouth, Derby County, Walsall, Swindon Town & Millwall. 

I went to school in South London with Jamie, and was lucky enough to spend time playing football with him in our school team. As we are the same age, Jamie's death came as a real shock, and after talking with his family they gave their blessing for the AFC Wimbledon Poker Club to arrange a charity event in his honour. Cardiac Risk in the Young's story is below:

Every week in the UK at least 12 apparently fit and healthy young people die of undiagnosed cardiac conditions. With your donation, CRY can reduce the frequency of young sudden cardiac death (YSCD) by working with cardiologists and family doctors to establish good practice and appropriate screening facilities to promote and protect the cardiac health of our young. By supporting CRY you will help save young lives from these potentially fatal cardiac conditions. See how your support can help by visiting www.c-r-y.org.uk
