I will be running the Manchester Marathon in April 2022 to raise money for CRY, a charity for Cardiac Risk in the Young.

Every week in the UK at least 12 apparently fit and healthy young people die of undiagnosed cardiac conditions. 

I have chosen this charity as it is one which is close to my heart. In 2015 a childhood friend Ben Smith took place in the Wilmslow Half Marathon, when he tragically collapsed and passed away moments before finishing the race. This came to a huge shock to everyone, particularly his family and close friends. 

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

Please share this and lets raise as much money and awareness as we can.

Thank you.
