Managing Director of Calor UK, Stephen Rennie comments:
“Young Sudden Cardiac Death is more prevalent than
most people realise, and yet in most cases, with
identification and the appropriate treatment, these
tragic young deaths could be preventable. Therefore I am
very proud that Calor is working with CRY in order to
help fund this life-saving work."

" We have pledged to raise
£100,000 for CRY, and Calor staff will continue to do whatever
we can - from dress down days and sponsored events to our
cylinder retrieval scheme Gift of the Gas - to reach this
ambitious target.”
Founder and Chief Executive of CRY, Alison Cox MBE, comments:
“We are incredibly proud of all that we have achieved over the
last 16 years. With the enormous support of people across the
UK - including family and friends who are affected by these
tragic and undiagnosed heart conditions, MPs, our Patrons and
leading medical experts in the field - we have made a real
impact as we strive to raise awareness of sudden cardiac death."
"Our aim is to continue to support those who are adversely
affected by the condition, as well as campaigning for wider
screening to help save the lives of young people in the future.
We are so very grateful to Calor Gas for its fantastic support
which will enable us to continue our valuable work.”
