A Wee Wander for Christopher Cowe

On Sunday 17th September a team of kilt walkers including parents, grandparents, family, friends and colleagues completed the Edinburgh Kiltwalk to raise funds for The Christopher Cowe Memorial Fund through Cardiac Risk in Young. Christopher passed away tragically in early 2021 aged 15 from undiagnosed myocarditis and over the past two years fundraising events have been taking place to help run heart screenings in the Edinburgh area for young people. To date funds have been raised to run two weekend events in June 2024 and 2025 and through our second annual walk for Christopher the team has raised a further £3600 for Christopher’s fund and towards a future weekend in 2026. Combined with the ESPC quiz night on the 4th September 2023 where £2500 was raised for the charity a total of over £6000 was raised over the month and we are looking forward through further events over the next 12 months – a comedy night, football match and half marathons are already being planned as this is being written – to being in a position in the near future to confirm the third screening in 2026. Everyone had a great day celebrating and remembering Christopher’s life and the impact he has left on so many people will always be felt. The legacy he has left and to which his family and friends dedicate themselves to will hopefully in the long term save young lives and also raise awareness of the importance of introducing mandatory heart screenings for young people in the near future – hopefully the goal for all CRY fundraisers in memory of those we have lost.
