Looking Back at 25

Looking Back at 25: The week that shaped the future of CRY screening for years to come

Over the past 25 years, CRY’s history has been defined by a range of ‘turning points’, underpinned by the actions and interventions of individuals and groups (whether families, MPs, doctors or governing bodies from the world of sport). The support, influence and determination of people committed to our cause is what has taken CRY from a

Looking Back at 25: How Pixie Lott became a Patron and helped CRY reach a new generation

CRY has always been fortunate to have had the support of an illustrious list of Patrons – largely from the world of sport, due to CRY’s early associations with tennis and the initial screening of athletes. But, back in 2010, a chance ‘viral video’ made by a group of Surrey schoolchildren saw Pixie Lott – one

Looking Back at 25: The development of the CRY Centre for Cardiac Pathology

Before CRY began in 1995, young sudden cardiac death (YSCD) was never considered to be a significant health issue. It was quite the opposite. The common belief was that there was just one young sudden cardiac death a week. Families were not being given a clear cause of death after losing someone suddenly, coroners didn’t always

Looking Back at 25: CRY raises awareness at Trafalgar Square’s Fourth Plinth

For around 175 years, the fate of the famous ‘Fourth Plinth’ in London’s Trafalgar Square has been hotly debated with a wide range of innovative installations and contemporary creations taking their place on the vacant podium. Many will remember (although many of CRY’s current supporters and stakeholders may be unaware) that just over a decade ago,

Looking Back at 25: The ICAP Charity Day and launching CRY’s national screening centre

Our last blog post on CRY’s screening programme focused on the early years. We looked back to when our testing was just getting underway and how we developed over the late ‘90s and early 2000s. Now let’s fast forward a few years. In 2009, CRY was chosen as one of the charities to benefit from the

Looking Back at 25: How one of CRY’s youngest supporters helped write a new chapter in our fundraising history

For this article we’re going to look back to 2005, the year of CRY’s 10th anniversary… From day one, Alison Cox and the team at CRY have often been ‘lost for words’ at the amazing lengths CRY supporters would go to in order to raise funds and awareness for the charity. But, in 2005, Alison came

Looking Back at 25: How the pioneering postcard project gave the stamp of approval to CRY’s campaign for change

First launched in 2004 (then revived almost five years later) CRY’s iconic postcard campaign marked a turning point in the evolution of the charity. The initiative helped take CRY from a reactive organisation with raising awareness and specialist bereavement support at its heart, to a lobbying organisation where political impact and meaningful engagement with MPs mattered.

Looking Back at 25: The history of CRY’s Heart of London Bridges Walk

Former international opera star Kathryn Harries first had the idea for a walk in 2006, the year she became a CRY Patron. Then, on 7th July 2007, she completed a 32-mile walk along the Thames path, heading across all of the bridges from Hampton Court to Tower Bridge on her way. A week later on July

Looking Back at 25: CRY’s bereavement support programme

After founding CRY in 1995, Alison Cox MBE became increasingly aware of the kind of support that was needed for families who had lost someone to young sudden cardiac death. This included both an explanation of the cause of death, the incidence of these tragedies, and bereavement support for those affected. As Alison has explained, it
