My husband and I ran 10miles from Consett to Swalwell in the north east of England on 17th August 2013 and raised £153.50 for CRY. We organised the run following my husband and our four year old sons recent diagnosis of long QT syndrome. It was an upsetting time for us but we wanted to do

I started training for the 2013 Ironman UK in November 2012, after long hard consideration about entering the event. My best friend’s brother – Craig Burling – had tragically passed away through SADS a number of months prior and the decision to do the event on behalf of CRY was an easy one. I would like to
Sadly in 2005 I lost my sister – bubbly, loving, full-of-life Aimee Wellock – to a previously unknown heart condition aggravated by a violent assault. Over the past years, we have had brilliant support from both our family and friends, as well as the charity CRY. Sunday 4th August 2013 was the day of my first
