 Every week at least 8 apparently ‘fit and healthy’
young people under the age of 35 die suddenly of undetected heart conditions,
many while playing sport. So when Andy Gard, who used to babysit Julie
Tanner, dropped dead at the age of 17, his young friend contacted CRY - the
national heart charity that works to raise awareness
of cardiac risk in the young, offering counselling and raising funds for
cardiac screening.

As
part of CRY’s 10th Anniversary 12-year old Julie (right), who is the editor
of the “Kids for CRY” page in the CRY Update brochure, has put together a
collection of inspirational quotes from a glittering array of celebrities
including Tony Blair, Hugh Grant, Jonny Wilkinson, Julie Walters, Emma
Thompson, Ian Botham, Honor Blackman, Patrick Lichfield, John McEnroe, Sally
Gunnell, Ranulph Fiennes, Ken Livingstone, Michael Caine and Derek Jacobi.
In 101 Reasons to Get Up in the Morning
(published in October by Canterbury Press, priced £7.99 paperback) you will
discover who turns to Winnie the Pooh when the going gets tough; what Boris
Johnson’s grandma said to him; why cabbages are important to Tanni Grey
Thompson and why nothing is impossible for Terry Wogan plus many more
celebrity secrets.
