Walk & Talk is a small voluntary group, established by CRY Representatives Sandra and Jeff Markham, who meet once every two months. The walks are not for fundraising, or raising awareness, but just a social gathering for CRY families and CRY individuals to give the opportunity to meet with others who have been affected by a young sudden cardiac death.
Most people come for the walk and the lunch, but if you prefer you can join for just the walk or the lunch. The groups normally meet at 10.30am for the walk, and return for lunch at 1pm.
CRY families from anywhere in the UK are welcome to join a Walk & Talk group if they would like to travel to join a walk.
The London Walk & Talk group is run by Sandra and Jeff Markham, which are often based around the London parks.
The next event is being held on the 3rd May around Ruislip.
