Story

So me and my big mouth have landed me in it again !! After saying a half Marathon was enough🤦🏼‍♀️🙄On Sunday 10th April 2022 I will be running my first marathon 26 miles or 42k😬 I will be raising funds for Team Ben Hammond.
In July 2016 15 year old Ben Hammond from High Halden died from an undiagnosed heart condition. This was sudden, unexpected and there were no symptoms or warnings. Ben was fit, healthy and very active, he loved the outdoors and had a real passion for farming. It is difficult to believe that such an active teenage boy could die of a condition which showed absolutely no symptoms.
It's £50 per person for a screening, Team Ben Hammond screen 100 people in a day,through CRY, so that's £5000 for a days screening. Hundreds of young people between the ages of 14 & 35 have already been screened and several of those have been referred for further treatment 

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
