 A
special thank you for the stunning initiative of Mark and Debbie Loveday
whose illustrious friend Clive Woodward, England Rugby Head
Coach, kindly donated this shirt signed by the squad during the recent
tour of the Southern Hemisphere to raise funds for the work carried
out by Cardiac Risk in the Young.. Mark and Debbie, who joined CRY after
the tragic death of their baby son Chad, organised a raffle of "the
shirt" during the England v Scotland 6 Nations Rugby match, that was
drawn by England Captain, Martin Johnson at Twickenham in March.
 This project not only raised a total of £6,688 but also made a
terrific contribution to our raising awareness campaign. 3344 tickets were
sold, including many both through our website and at the ground on match
day. As an incentive to encourage people to sell tickets to friends and
sports clubs the seller of the winning ticket won a case of
wine. Tickets were £2 each and sold individually or as a book of 5.
The interest generated in being associated with such a high profile event
has wide-spreading ramifications and again underlines how - just by
raising awareness of young sudden cardiac death - young lives can be
saved..
