My name is Caitlin Mogridge and I attend the Arts University College in Bournemouth. Myself and a friend, Mell Oliver undertook a charity hitch hike on April 18th called ‘Leggit’ and we decided to raise money for CRY. We came to this decision for many reasons, but mainly because our coursemate and friend Nick Jarram sadly
Between 24th August and 3rd September 2012 Anthony Barron took part in the Land’s End to John O’Groats cycle ride to raise money for CRY. “All returned from Land’s End to John O’Groats cycle. 9 days of over 100 miles a day on average with plenty of hills. Tough work, with only 2 days that didn’t
15th-17th July 2007 Following an annual hiking tradition which began some 35 years ago, four old friends (and also old school friends) set off in brilliant sunshine to find the famous GR5 trail, south of Contamines on the western flank of Mont Blanc.

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
On Saturday 17th August 2013, I did a tandem skydive at Headcorn Aerodrome in Kent in memory of my daughter Emma. I cannot say that it was a lifelong ambition – quite the opposite really – but I wanted to do something that took me out of my comfort zone and I most certainly achieved that.
A group of CRY supporters walked from Gloucester to Bristol over 2 days to raise money for CRY in memory of Ashley Goodwin.
