Wilson Shepherd

Wilson Shepherd

My beautiful son Wilson Shepherd passed away on 31/08/2023, aged just 25 years, all tests normal, putting his death to SADS.

Wilson was young, fit, healthy and well. He was a triathlete, coming 2nd in his first ever half Iron Man in 2022 for his age group. Wilson also ran the Keswick to Barrow (40miles) every May raising lots of money for MND charity, a charity close to his heart after his uncle died from this awful disease.

2022 also saw Wils achieve a first class honours degree in Electronic and Electrical Engineering, going onto do his Masters, which sadly he never got to finish.

We miss Wilson every single second of every day, always will. He was a beautiful soul, loved his family and his girlfriend. His early death has left us all traumatised and broken.

With love, Lesley Mease, Wils mum x

Tell me more »

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Cardiac Risk in the Young to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Cardiac Risk in the Young will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Cardiac Risk in the Young receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
