Event Write ups for Cardiac Risk in the Young


	Parachute Jump in memory of Neill Browne - 24th September 2011 On Saturday 24th September Jacqueline Shephard took part in a parachute jump from an airfield in Norwich in memory of her son Neill. "Such a privilege to defy nature, go somewhere and see something from a perspective that we humans are not supposed to see. In half an hour I realised a dream, celebrated what would have been Neill's 30th birthday and raised in excess of £600.00 for the CRY charity. Quite humbling really."
	Skydive in memory of James Love-Smith - 7th May 2011 On Saturday 7th May, I and three other people went to Redlands Airfield in Swindon, Wiltshire. It was a horrible morning with strong winds and heavy rain and the likelihood of jumping seemed to worsen by the minute. But we all remained enthusiastic and positive that we were going to jump out of a plane at 10,000 feet. We were all raising money for Cardiac Risk in the Young in memory of a friend of ours who died on the 27th June 2009 after collapsing in a street due to an unidentified heart condition. His name was James Love-Smith and he was only sixteen years old.
	Skydive in memory of Sam Bradley - 16th April 2011 "On the 16th of April 2011, I jumped out of a plane 2.6 miles up; it was one of my 18th birthday presents. I chose to raise money for C.R.Y in memory of my friend Sam, who died in 2008 from an unforeseen heart condition."
	Skydive in memory of James Bott - October 2010 Ryan, Jonathan and James decided to raise money for CRY by doing a tandem skydive.

	Parachute Jump in memory of Michael Andrews by Fay Hurley We were lucky to have a clear find day on the 6th, so two car loads of friends and very anxious parents made an early start for Dunkerswell airfield in Devon. Claire, Ester and Andrew went to get dressed up and instructed for their jump. Bob, my brother said, ‘2 miles, that’s not too bad, that’s just up to the shops and back at home'
