This important date in the CRY calendar each year hopes to give supporters the opportunity to connect with others, remember those who have died from Young Sudden Cardiac Death (YSCD) and support those living with a heart condition. Walk to raise awareness, reflect and remember.

Approximately 3.5 miles, the Durham Walk will take you from Durham Amateur Rowing Club, along the riverside, taking in sites such as the iconic cathedral, and then on through the city centre finishing back at the rowing club.
The route includes step-free access. If you are unable to take part in the walk, you are welcome to stay with the CRY team at Durham Amateur Rowing Club.
Support Marquee Message Wall
On the day of the event, we will have a support marquee at the rowing club where you can write a message, or pin your back-signs up to remember all those who have died suddenly from YSCD or in support of someone living with a condition. All message cards from the day will be displayed at CRY’s National Screening Centre in Leatherhead.
Digital Message Wall
Participants are also welcome to upload a photo and message to our digital message wall. These will be displayed on the CRY Heart of Durham Walk webpage to show the impact and true incidence of young sudden cardiac death in the UK. These can be sent in from now until 4pm on Sunday 5th October.
Access to the digital hub – here you will find all the information you will need to know for the day, including downloadable items and links to upload to our message wall.
A CRY T-Shirt
Downloadable back-signs to print and pin to the back of your T-shirts on the day (we can also post these to you!)
