Story

In 2015, at just 13 years old, my cousin Jamie suddenly passed away in his sleep due to a cardiac arrest caused by severe myocarditis. The Jamie Loncaster Memorial Fund was set up with CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) to raise funds for local heart screenings that can prevent such tragedies from happening to other families.

With the generosity and support from donors like you, CRY can continue their work in funding awareness, research and free heart screenings to young people aged 14-35 across the UK, growing the total number of young people screened (a remarkable 311,000 to date).

Jamie was incredibly kind, and always lit up the room with his infectious smile and sense of humour - I cherish my memories of him, and continue to miss him dearly every day.

Please join me in honouring his memory and the important work that CRY do as I run the London Landmarks Half Marathon in April 2025. Any support / donations are gratefully appreciated. Thank you!
