CRY raises almost £1,000 at Beckenham
Monday 4th June 2018
Members and supporters donated almost £1,000 to club charity Cardiac Risk in the Young at The County Ground, Beckenham last weekend.
Volunteers conducted a bucket collection for Kent Cricket’s official charity for 2018 to raise vital funds for heart screenings for young cricketers in the county.
Every week in the UK at least 12 young people die of undiagnosed heart conditions. Since its formation in 1995, Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) has been working to reduce the frequency of young sudden cardiac death (YSCD).
CRY supports young people diagnosed with potentially life-threatening cardiac conditions and offers bereavement support to families affected by YSCD. CRY promotes and develops heart screening programmes and funds medical research.
