The
Howard
Jennings CRY Memorial Trophy Golf Tournament
With 108 golfers, this the 5th Memorial Trophy was
assured to be a hectic day. As it happened the weather also put us
well and truly to the test. We raised £3,000 through golf fees,
raffle, sponsorship and a silent auction. |

Three
Peaks challenge
“It was the most horrendous thing any of us had ever done.
The elements were against us and by the time we finished we had gone 40
hours without sleep. But it was worth it, and
we’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who sponsored us.”

Les
Holleron's London Marathon
The Charity Clearing House did me proud, and within a couple of hours of identifying CRY as a suitable charity to support who also had a Divisional Representative close to where I live in North Wales, plus being a Lecturer in Higher Education I work with young people, I was told that I was in!
Together we raised £1560 - far in excess of what I had originally expected. Would I do it again? probably but not for another five years!

Marathon
mum
A Drayton mum has just
made the news by completing the London Marathon – guess what, it was
me! I’m Caroline Wishart and I’ve been preparing for the run all
year but as the big day drew nearer I just wanted it to be over. I
achieved my goal, which was to complete the race in less than four
hours. I made a new Year’s resolution to run the marathon and raise
£1000 for the charity CRY Cardiac Risk in the Young.

Twins
run London Marathon. Paula
Mott Cheryl
Seaman
I
decided to run for CRY after my younger brother Ben died from Sudden
Adult Death Syndrome in September 2001 just days after I was
married. Paula found out about the charity on the web and we
entered....everything seemed to be going to plan when I came down
with a mystery virus with less than a month to go. I was on
antibiotics and couldn't eat properly; I lost 10lbs and felt awful.
Everybody tried to talk me out of running and I had my doubts too
but we had raised so much through sponsor money that I felt I
couldn't let people down.

Whickham
School fundraising week
We
managed to raise an amazing £10,500, and this money was gained
through a different array of activities and events. We
began on Friday 31st January doing an all day Asda bag pack, which
raised £1500. This event went on for the entire day; I must say we had plenty
of volunteers during the 9:10 to 3.25 slot!
