Fundraising for Cardiac Risk in the Young
Story
Me and a friend are both running a 1,000 lengths of a squash court to raise money for CRY. We were both shocked to hear the news of our frinds passing at such a young age.
An newspaper report about Harry:
Faulkner, who turned 18 in December, was playing for Berkhamsted Squash Club in the Hertfordshire league last Thursday night when he complained of feeling unwell.
The British under-19 player, who was due to begin a degree course at the University of Birmingham in September, was last on court and playing well “in a sport he lived for”, according to his father, Stefan.
However, after hitting one shot into the nick – the meeting point between floor and wall which squash players strive to hit – he turned to his coach in appreciation, before Faulkner then "turned grey.”
He immediately asked for an injury timeout, but as soon as he stepped off court, the teenager fell to the ground and passed out. Each of his team-mates attempted to revive him before local paramedics arrived at Nuffield Health and Fitness in St Albans 20 minutes later. Faulkner was pronounced dead two hours later in hospital.
