Meet Our Representative Jenny Boag Representative in London My darling brother Barry was 28. It was the last game of the season for Rayners Lane FC, the team he had played for since he was 17. The result of the game was not important to league standings, so the Manager changed around a couple of players’ positions.

Barry opted to play midfield, rather than his normal left/ right back position. He would have played in any position for Rayners Lane; he loved the club and loved playing football.

Not long after the second half started, Barry collapsed in the middle of the pitch… CPR was given immediately by a fellow player and long-time best friend and an ambulance called, but sadly Barry had gone. This was in May 1985.

The loss of Barry has had the most profound effect on my family and his very many friends, it is very hard to comprehend that on average, every week, 12 other families feel the same pain and loss.

It is a privilege to volunteer and represent CRY, and feel I am keeping Barry’s memory very much alive every time I pull on my CRY t-shirt.

Little was known then about SADS or undiagnosed heart conditions and it wasn’t until 1996, when our family became aware of CRY, that things started to make sense. Barry’s passing wasn’t just ‘one of those things’ and more needed to be done to raise awareness about young cardiac risk.

CRY Chief Executive

January

@Drstevenjcox drstevenjcox Thank you for everything that you continue to do to support CRY and raise awareness within your local communities. Included in this section are a number of media stories from May to August, as well as information about some of CRY’s events in this period.

Dr Steven Cox, Sandra Jones, Nick Jones and Hope Jones at the CRY Screening Centre

CRY Founder Alison Cox MBE and CRY Chairman Hugh Mulcahey

CRY’s Founder Alison Cox MBE Retires After 30 years of dedication to saving young lives, CRY’s Founder, Alison Cox MBE, has decided it was the right time to retire. Alison leaves behind her an incredible legacy.

As Hugh Mulcahey, CRY’s Chairman, said “On behalf of CRY’s Trustees, staff and families, I would like to thank Alison for everything that she has done. Quite simply, CRY would not exist without her.”

Turn to page 14 to read a message from Alison with foreword from CRY’s Chairman, Hugh Mulcahey.

On the first weekend of the year, I was joined by Ethan’s parents, Nick and Sandra Jones, and Ethan’s sister, Hope, at the CRY office where they presented an echocardiogram machine for CRY’s screening programme, funded in memory of Ethan. The screening weekend at CRY’s National Screening Centre, at our office in Leatherhead, was also funded in memory of Ethan.

These events are always well attended, and it was fantastic seeing so many young people start to arrive as the day began. All our meeting rooms are now converted with medical curtains and all the necessary screening equipment (such as beds, machine stands and drawers for consumables) permanently set up to facilitate this incredible service.

News from the Chief Executive When I visited the CRY centre Zephryn Fanton demonstrated the kit and showed me what this upgrade means to the team. Zephryn is one of the CRY funded expert physiologists at the centre, conducting ECGs, ultrasound investigations (ECHOs) and exercise tests with our team of doctors.

February son, Nathan. The feature included interviews with Gill and CRY Doctor, Dr Raghav Bhatia. The story featured on the lunchtime and evening bulletins, raising important awareness of CRY’s vital work.

Dr Steven Cox and Zephryn Fanton

Freya’s CPET January 16 I visited the team at the CRY Centre for Inherited Cardiac Conditions at St George’s Hospital, to see CRY’s upgraded CPET machine. The CPET, often better known as a VO2 max exercise test, is a vital piece of kit at our centre; used routinely for families when referred to the centre after a young sudden cardiac death or if they are experiencing worrying symptoms This is one of several essential pieces of medical machinery CRY funds at the Centre and we were delighted that the family of Freya Cox agreed to fund the important upgrade to the machine in her memory, to ensure the team are using the most up to date medical equipment.

As part of Heart Month 2023 CRY launched ‘Why Do I Support CRY?’, a new campaign which aimed to tell the stories behind CRY. The response to the campaign was overwhelming, with hundreds of responses coming in, many sharing deeply personal stories. It was incredibly moving to read and listen to each response and see the true impact of a young sudden death.

Read more about the campaign and some of the responses on page 18.

Adjournment Debate on Parliament TV February 1 Holly Mumby-Croft MP took part in an adjournment debate in Parliament on sudden cardiac death in young people, this was raised by Holly following a meeting with Gill and Steve Ayling after the death of their son Nathan.

News from the Chief Executive Holly talked about the terrible impact young sudden cardiac death had on Gill & Steve Ayling when Nathan died.

The Government must address all the points raised if the National screening board is to make a meaningful decision about cardiac screening for young people. All aspects from genetics and defibrillators for reactive measures as well as ECG screening and symptom awareness for preventative measures must be considered. This is a step in the right direction and CRY looks forward to working with Holly Mumby-Croft MP and other cross-party MPs to get these questions answered.

BBC East Midlands feature in memory of George Watson February 27 CRY was the lead story on BBC East Midlands early evening news which featured a CRY screening in Derby, funded by the family of George Watson. This included an interview with George’s mum, Marie. A BBC Radio Lincolnshire presenter was screened at this event, with the follow up audio feature broadcast a fortnight later on 6th March on BBC Radio Lincoln. This included an interview with the organisers of a regular screening at Bourne Grammar School in Lincoln as well as an interview with me.

If you would like to watch the debate, visit: https:// parliamentlive.tv/event/index/253ff768-8268-4fbf-8d4bade339473992?in=17:32:23 Further to their heart screening in January and their ongoing campaigning work with local MP, Holly MumbyCroft, Gill and I were interviewed by ITV Yorkshire on the same day as the adjournment debate.

ITV Meridian feature in memory of Ben Smith February 11 On the early evening bulletin, ITV Meridian broadcast a feature about CRY’s screening programme focusing on the family of Ben Smith. The local ITV news team had followed the family’s screening journey since Ben’s death in 2017 and approached Ben’s mum, Caroline, to request the attendance of a reporter at this, their second screening (held at King Edward VI School, Southampton).

Following the filming they produced an excellent feature in which Caroline was interviewed.

BBC Morning Live feature in memory of Daniel Hughes February 27 The CRY team worked closely with the BBC production team to help set up a day of filming at a CRY screening day in Derby. The screening day was set up by CRY Representatives Dave and Sue Hughes in memory of their son, Daniel. This 12-minute feature on this highprofile and popular daytime show included interviews with Dave and Sue Hughes; CRY Research Fellow, Dr Sarandeep Marwaha; and Lucy Smith, who was identified with a potentially dangerous heart condition at a CRY screening and successfully treated.

News from the Chief Executive

March

and local communities.

Once politicians start to take the impact of young sudden cardiac death seriously, we will start to move towards a time when much more is being done to prevent young sudden cardiac deaths and every young person will have the opportunity to have their heart tested.

Following the David Hill Memorial Quaitch Match I joined John Beattie on his BBC Radio Scotland drive-time show, discussing CRY’s work, young sudden cardiac death and the importance of heart screening.

ITV Boarders Interview in memory of David Hill March 3 In this feature, Alex Hill (David’s brother) was interviewed about his incredible fundraising efforts walking the Three Peaks in memory of his brother, David Hill.

A week later the 9th David’s parents (Roger Hill and Sharon Duncan) appeared “on the sofa” on Scotland’s flagship, daily magazine news programme, BBC Scotland “The Nine”. And on the 10th, Roger was interviewed on BBC Radio Scotland.

The Times article in memory of David Hill March 11 On the 11 March, teams from the Scottish and Irish parliaments faced each other in the first annual David Hill Memorial Quaich. The friends and family of David Hill launched this fundraising event in David’s memory.

David’s father, Rodger Hill was interviewed for The Times and the paper published an article raising awareness of the importance of screening, and the fundraising the family are doing to host CRY screenings in Dumfries.

As well as helping to raise vital funds, this event – and future events in coming years – will also raise significant awareness for CRY across Scotland and amongst parliamentarians, politicians and key decision makers.

This could have an important impact on CRY’s wider campaign to ensure politicians understand the terrible impact these tragedies have on so many families, friends

Andrew Osborne completes 3,000 miles across the Atlantic in memory of his daughter March 28 In February the “Wake up with Ady Dayman show” on BBC Leicester featured Andrew Osborne’s trans-Atlantic RowforAmy challenge. By the end of March Andrew had completed his incredible 3,000-mile row. Before he had finished, he had already raised more than £150,000 and he is still receiving donations months later.

As well as raising vital funds, an incredible amount of awareness of CRY and the importance of screening has also been raised, with Andrew’s story being featured on BBC News. We would encourage you to go to www. rowforamy.com to read Andrew’s blog.

“The row is a time in my life that I will never forget and 3 months that I am truly grateful for. It was just me, my boat and the ocean. So peaceful, yet so gruelling. I now honestly believe that if you set your mind to something, then you really can do it. With determination, dedication and a bit of grit then anything is achievable. You just

by MPs Dr Rupa Huq (Ealing Central and Acton) and Ruth Cadbury (Brentford and Isleworth) as well as several players from Brentford FC Women’s 1st and B Teams.

And most importantly above all else, Amy’s legacy lives on through the The Amy Osborne fund. She would have loved all this. It was all for her.”

Go to page 28 to see the full write up, photos and a click through to the video.

It is a truly epic achievement which has been completed by fewer than 200 people. We are privileged to continuously receive inspiring support from families such as Amy’s who sadly know all too well the pain of losing a loved one at a young age to sudden cardiac death. It is incredible how so many bereaved families channel their own traumatic experience to prevent others suffering a similar loss, by undertaking amazing awareness and fundraising challenges such as Andrew’s rowing event.

Heart of West London screening in memory of Rob Rowan March 25 As part of the Heart of West London partnership, Brentford FC Community Trust hosted the CRY team for our 5th screening event in memory of Rob Rowan. CRY Patron and former Brentford FC player and manager, Andy Scott, joined Suzanne and the CRY team on the day along with Brentford FC players Pontus Jansson and Josh Dasilva.

The club arranged for their film crew to interview the players as well as our team to share on social media to help raise awareness of the importance of screening.

London Landmarks Half Marathon April 2 Thank you and congratulations to the 37 CRY runners who took part in the London Landmarks Half Marathon on Sunday 2nd April. With 17,249 runners taking to the streets of London, the fantastic atmosphere along the route really made the day special.

Read the full write-up on page 29.

BBC East Midlands feature in memory of Nathan Butler April 2 CRY’s screening programme was featured as the lead story on BBC East Midlands early evening news following a 2-day screening event in Derby (funded by CRY Representative and long-term supporter, Angela Butler).

The weekend comprised the 19th and 20th screening days funded in memory of Angela’s son, Nathan – and

News from the Chief Executive this milestone event led to a lengthy and informative feature, including interviews with both Angela and CRY doctor, Dr Nikhil Chatrath.

research has always focused on the present, improving the way we screen young people, improving our understanding of the causes of young sudden cardiac deaths, helping young people have the best quality of life while living with these conditions. In this update we have included some interviews with current and past research fellows about some of the most recent work they have published.

Recently, two important research reviews – spearheaded

by Dr Sabiha Gati, now a Consultant Cardiologist at Royal Brompton and Imperial college, who had previously been a CRY research fellow, and current fellow Dr Nikhil Chatrath– have been published in Heart (the journal of the British Cardiac Society) to help ‘unpick’ some of the myths regarding physical activity and inherited heart conditions.

TCS London Marathon April 23 We were delighted to have had 102 runners take part on behalf of CRY, raising both vital funds and awareness.

Some runners were taking the marathon on for a second or third time for CRY, others stepped in to fill places with only a month of training. One runner even decided that 26.2 miles was just one part of their challenge and cycled 810 miles from John O’Groats to London the week of the Marathon.

Former CRY Research Fellow and consultant cardiologist Dr Abbas Zaidi took part and completed the marathon in 3 hours and 15 minutes. Dr Zaidi was a CRY Research Fellow from 2010-2013 and during this time helped screen over five thousand young people for cardiac conditions and continues to support CRY to this day with his expertise in cardiology.

It was great to see CRY runners mentioned in the BBC TV round-up on the evening of the 2023 London Marathon Turn to page 30 to read the full write up.

The impact of exercise and physical activity on young people living with a heart condition is an issue that often comes up at myheart meetings or is discussed amongst our members. As such, CRY has always been committed to supporting a range of research projects, looking at these issues and striving to gain further understanding about the benefits of physical activity for young people with a diagnosed heart condition, as well as ‘safe’ parameters for exercise.

To read more about this go to page 20.

Another fantastic interview in this update is with Dr Raghav Bhatia. Raghav provides some wonderful insights into what it means to be a CRY research fellow, how it has helped him and some of his research achievements whilst being funded by CRY. To read Raghav’s interview in full go to page 23.

CRY Online Social media Social media is a vital part of how CRY interacts with supporters and, first and foremost, raises awareness of young sudden cardiac death and what can be done to tackle it – from preventative measures (screening) to bereavement support for those affected by a tragedy.

In the CRY Online segment, we look back at the fourmonth period the Update covers and include a small selection of social media highlights, such as Facebook posts that reached an amazing amount of people, or supporters who tweeted memorable photos at us.

In this four month period CRY’s Instagram page had over 200,000 impressions/engagements, with over 500,000 on Facebook, and 450,000 on Twitter/X.

During Heart Month in February 2023, CRY launched ‘why do I support CRY?’. The campaign aimed to personify and tell the stories behind CRY. The campaign was met with hundreds of responses, many sharing deeply personal stories of the impact of Young Sudden Cardiac Death (YSCD) and our cardiac screening programme.

A post that had 13,299 engagements and 909 reactions was a Daily Express article about A Place in the Sun’s Jasmine Harman and her husband Jon. Jon sent his moving response to the Why I Support CRY campaign in memory of his sister, Joanne

Another campaign was launched over on our Instagram page, ‘Meet Our Supporters’. This campaign features stories from CRY supporters, following on from ‘Why Do I Support CRY’.

Featured in April was Graham and Jenny Loncaster; their story follows their fundraising and memorial fund for their son, Jamie, who died in 2015.

“If only we had known he had a heart problem, our lives might not have changed in the tragic way they did… We just hope that the awareness we raise for CRY can save at least one family from suffering as we have.”

The Loncaster family through Jamie’s memorial fund have screened over 2,000 young people over 20 screening days.

Yet again, our screening numbers social media posts continue to raise awareness of CRY’s screening programme and the impact it has on our communities, with this Instagram reel receiving over 5,000 views.

The reel received over 3,000 views. Another story, sent in by Kate Blackman in memory of her partner, Dan Blackman, received over 5,000 views.

2003 atheltes were screening at sports screening days including White Cross Netball Club; RFU England U20’s; Leeds Rhinos; Harlequins Premiership Rugby Club U16’s; Yorkshire Rugby Academy; Royal Ballet School; British Rowing U16’s; England Cricket - Visually Impaired Squad; British Triathlon Academy; Worcestershire County Cricket; GB Hockey; London City Lionesses and Essex County Cricket Club.

What happens at a screening?

The basic test is an electrocardiogram (ECG) which is a simple non-invasive and painless test that examines the electrical activity within the heart.

Small stickers are placed at strategic points on the chest, arms and legs. Flexible leads (called electrodes) that extend from the ECG machine are then attached to these stickers. The electrical rhythm of the heart is recorded and printed out.

This part of the process only takes two to three minutes to perform. The ECG printout is then reviewed by a doctor in conjunction with a personal and family history questionnaire.

If a more detailed image is needed (about 5–10% of individuals), an echocardiogram can be taken – this is similar to the ultrasound scan that is used for a pregnant woman to check the health of her baby.

Soundwaves echo against various parts of the heart and they are recorded on a screen.

This provides a detailed picture of the heart’s structure and how well it is functioning. This takes about 30 minutes to perform.

The screening programme is under the aegis of Professor Sanjay Sharma.

493 people were screened at events held at the CRY Screening Centre in Screening event at Spondon College in memory of Joe Leatherhead. Kellogg

CRY Centre for Cardiac Pathology (CRY CCP) Report

By Professor Mary Sheppard

Professor Mary Sheppard, Consultant Cardiac Pathologist

Emelia Zullo, Laboratory Technician Khari Edwards, Laboratory Technician

We continue to work on and publish on many research projects with 10 papers already published this year. These papers on aspects of sport, gender , age, ethnicity and pathological diagnosis on sudden cardiac death in the young are a direct result of our CRY-funded database. We also published on the whole database of 7000 hearts which is largest database in the world giving valuable information on causes of sudden death in UK where leading causes are SADS and cardiomyopathies.

We have had a busy year so far in 2023 at the CRY Cardiovascular Pathology Laboratory. Our referral numbers have grown since 2022 to 400 cases until June. We have a new member of staff, Birethine Sathiyanathan, who joins Clementine Cheyne and Emma O’Neill (above photo). They have all now completed their training and are active staff members.

Both Professor Sheppard and Dr Joe Westaby reported 303 hearts during this term coming from throughout the UK and given the causes of death as below with sudden adult death and cardiomyopathies predominating.

We are also heavily involved in the National Sudden Death NHS genetic and family follow up programme as Pathology Lead giving guidelines to other pathologists in seven regional centres with coordinators who are essential in arranging the genetic testing and the family screening.

We welcomed trainee forensic pathologists to learn cardiovascular pathology under the tutorage of Professor Sheppard and Dr Westaby (see image attached). Dr Nurquin Fasya Binti Shahrir has travelled from Malaysia to be trained at our lab.

We hosted a work experience student Amelia Dr Nurquin Fasya Binti Shahrir, Prof.

Sheppard & Dr Westaby Ward in our lab who benefited from seeing cardiac pathology in action and the day to day workings of a lab.

Professor Sheppard and Dr Joseph Westaby attended the USCAP (United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology) meeting in New Orleans where Dr Westaby presented posters on SCD from our database. Additionally, Dr Davide Radielli from Trieste Italy who trained in our lab for 6 months at the end of 2022, attended the conference and presented his paper on sudden cardiac death in adolescents from our database.

Our collaboration with Inherited Cardiac Conditions within St Georges Hospital continues. We combine the autopsy cardiac diagnosis with family follow up with the CRY research Fellows and also genetic testing with local Genetic Hub.

Dr Joseph Westaby was awarded the runner up Clinical Young Investigator Award by the European Association of Preventitive Cardiology for his paper titled “National sudden cardiac death autopsy database highlighting sudden arrhythmic death and cardiomyopathies, applying diagnostic criteria and expanding the concept of the molecular autopsy”.

Alison’s Column

After dedicating more than 30 years to Cardiac Risk in the Young, CRY’s Founder, Alison Cox, has taken the decision that now is the time for her to retire. When Alison first began raising awareness of cardiac conditions in apparently fit and healthy young people, she was often dismissed by professionals who, at the time, believed this to be exceptionally rare.

Unconvinced, undeterred, and unwilling to accept that apparently fit and healthy young people were dying of undiagnosed cardiac conditions, Alison tenaciously persevered and the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young was formed.

To date, CRY has screened the hearts of over 270,000 young people, is producing world renowned research and has supported thousands of families. On behalf of CRY’s Trustees, staff and families, I would like to thank Alison for everything that she has done. Quite simply, CRY would not exist without her.

Issue 90 | January - April 2023

To all of you, CRY’s supporters, I would like to say a huge ‘thank you’ for everything you have done to help save so many young lives.

I never imagined I would start a charity, and could never envisage being part of something which has had such a tremendous impact. The charity has changed so much since it started in a back room in my house. Thanks to you, CRY has changed the way our society thinks about young sudden cardiac death.

CRY families will often say that they have become a member of a club that no one would ever want to join. I hope that CRY has been able to offer a safe space for families to begin to find a way forward, a place where they feel they are not alone and where people understand. Nothing has been more important to me than talking with CRY families.

Change occurs in many ways and often it is when you get support in the corridors or power that breakthroughs can happen.

There have been so many memorable moments in parliament, with Kevan Jones MP chairing the All Party Parliamentary Group 2018 at Hay’s Galleria as part of the for Cardiac Risk in the Bridges Walk Young and driving forward some of the advances we take for granted today.

Whilst cardiac screening is not yet routine throughout the NHS, it is very much within the mindset of many people.

Screening is now routine for most elite athletes, as well as some professions, and 10s of thousands of young people are going through the CRY screening programme every year, which is quite incredible.

I have spoken with more than 2,000 parents, partners, siblings, grandparents, and children after a tragedy. It has meant so much that you have trusted me to try to help you. I would like to say how incredible you all are, for being able to confront what has happened, the terrible tragedy your family has suffered.

As increasing numbers of young people are screened, there will be more young people living with conditions. All the young myheart members have really opened my eyes to such courage in adjusting to their diagnoses, as well as showing how important it is to identify heart conditions early.

When I founded CRY I had just finished training to become a counsellor but very early on I could see how important it was for families to be able to talk to another family in a similar situation.

The bereavement support programme has made a critical contribution and continues to grow with the next group of supporters currently undertaking their training to join a truly incredible group who give so much to help other families.

When I started CRY nobody talked about young people dying suddenly from heart conditions, no one believed it could happen.

There were just a few cardiologists with an interest in these conditions. But now the momentum for change is unstoppable.

Alison’s Column There are many cardiologists, pathologists, geneticists and researchers in the UK and throughout the world who are doing so much to better understand the causes of young sudden cardiac death and how tragedies can be prevented. It is no longer “if something will change”, it is now just a matter of time before the science informs the changes which are required.

Pathology we have been supporting families in this way for over 15 years.

CRY’s research has transformed the understanding of young sudden cardiac death. It is wonderful to see so many cardiologists like Professor Michael Papadakis who are part of this incredible team, continue to produce worldleading research which is helping to save young lives.

I would like give a special thank you to Professor Sanjay Sharma and Professor Mary Sheppard. When I first met Sanjay I knew something extraordinary was about to happen and it did! We were lucky to have him. Sanjay took an immediate interest when he was training to become a cardiologist and he has been making such an invaluable contribution to CRY’s efforts to raise awareness of these deadly conditions ever since.

Over the past 30 years I have been privileged to have worked with so many wonderful, courageous and committed families who have done so much in so many different ways. Thank you all for your incredible dedication to save young lives and prevent other families from experiencing such a devastating tragedy.

I will always be a committed supporter of CRY and will

Alison’s Column continue to follow the charity’s achievements. Although now is the time for me to step back, I want all families to know that CRY’s team remains dedicated to raising awareness, breaking ground with new research and of course, screening the hearts of young people.

Most of all I want CRY families to know that CRY is there to support you and to help in any way possible to reduce your suffering. CRY cannot take it from you. CRY cannot grieve for you. But CRY can be there for the long haul.

I am proud to have been there at CRY’s start and for so many years to have been given the chance to be your voice in fighting for change.

Thank you

Why do I Support CRY? During Heart Month 2023, CRY launched ‘why do I support CRY?’. The campaign aimed to personify and tell the stories behind CRY. We asked our supporters to send in their reasons for supporting CRY so we could share across our social media what CRY means to so many. The campaign was met with hundreds of responses, many sharing deeply personal stories of the impact of Young Sudden Cardiac Death (YSCD) and our cardiac screening programme.

We will continue to share new responses across our social media channels throughout the year, so if you would still like to share your reasons for supporting CRY; please email comms@c-r-y.org.uk.

If you would like to read all the responses to the campaign, please visit www.c-r-y.org.uk/whydoisupportcry. Here are just a few of the personal stories we received over Heart Month:

Research News Whenever a donation is made to CRY’s core funding, approximately 25p in every pound will go towards CRY’s research programme. Some families have chosen for all of the funds they raise to go directly to research; and many families who are raising funds specifically for screening, also provide support to the research programme when possible. Thank you to everyone who is helping to support CRY’s research, your support means we can work to train the next generation of specialist cardiologists in inherited cardiac conditions, and transform our understanding of the causes and prevention of young sudden cardiac death.

The support CRY has received for research between 2020 and 2022 has been incredible. In 2022 CRY received significant contributions to support research from the following memorial funds: •Tiffany Andrews •Nathan Butler •Tom Clabburn and Claire Prosser •Bruce Cousins •Daniel Lee Duncan •Ashley Goodwin •Adam Green •Matthew Hesmondhalgh •Charlie Ibrahimi •Keiran Joyce •Nina Jelen •Stephen Lamb •Jamie Loncaster •Alan Lumley

The impact of exercise and physical activity on young people living with a heart condition The impact of exercise and physical activity on young people living with a heart condition is an issue that often comes up at myheart meetings or is discussed amongst our members As such, CRY has always been committed to supporting a range of research projects, looking at these issues and striving to gain further understanding about the benefits of physical activity for young people with a diagnosed heart condition, as well as ‘safe’ parameters for exercise.

CRY’s Research Fellows have been involved in the publication of a raft of internationally acclaimed research looking into this area and one things remains unanimous across all findings; physical activity is almost always beneficial for overall health and well-being and far outweighs the risks associated with a sedentary lifestyle.

20

Issue 90 | January - April 2023

Recently, two important research reviews – spearheaded by doctors who both have an association with CRY’s research programme – have been published in Heart (the journal of the British Cardiac Society) to help ‘unpick’ some of the myths regarding physical activity and inherited heart conditions and to clarify whether exercise really can be the best medicine.

Former CRY Research Fellow, Dr Sabiha Gati, is now Consultant Cardiologist at Royal Brompton and Harefield (RBH) NHS Foundation Trust. Dr Gati has also been a huge supporter of myheart for several years, taking on a supervisory role at many meetings.

Here, we look at a published review carried out by Dr Gati, entitled; ‘Exercise prescription in individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: what clinicians need to know’.

Research News Dr Gati, can you briefly describe the objectives of this literature review and why you felt it was so important to evaluate existing, published research?

considerations to age, sex, ethnicity and sporting disciplines and ESC-risk score Can you explain to our myheart community how your findings might impact young people (particularly young people) who are living with a heart condition and who are keen to take part in exercise and sport?

In the last few years, we are seeing a favourable outcome in our patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

There is emerging evidence that most deaths in HCM are occurring at rest rather than with exercise.

Previous exercise guidance for patients with HCM was limited to low intensity physical activity only. However, there is new data emerging that supports the idea of moderate exercise being beneficial for these individuals.

It is well recognised that a sedentary lifestyle may result in a detrimental effect in patients with HCM both physically and emotionally. As clinicians we should be encouraging the current minimum physical activity recommendations and also give guidance to those individuals who are limited by symptoms.

In fact some individuals with the mild form of the disease and with a low risk profile may also take part in vigorous exercise following discussions with their specialists. The current exercise and sports cardiology guidelines from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC)on the management and treatment of HCM have been updated and support a more liberal approach to exercise and sports participation in HCM. This review provided the general physicians and patients with the evidence that is available to support the notion of exercise in HCM and how best to prescribe it.

Generally, how can people living with heart conditions know what a ‘safe’ and recommended level of exercise and physical activity is?

What were the main findings and recommendations of this review?

In summary, the key conclusions drawn from this research review were as follows: Exercise is beneficial for cardiovascular health and light and moderate exercise should be encouraged in all able individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) A detailed comprehensive risk evaluation of all individuals with HCM is recommended to formulate a safe exercise prescription plan.

The current European Society of Cardiology guidelines and the 2020 AHA/ACC guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with HCM recommend a liberal approach to exercise in HCM. Asymptomatic individuals with a mild phenotype and absence of high-risk features for sudden cardiac death (SCD) may engage in all competitive sports Longer term follow-up studies are required in individuals with HCM who exercise vigorously with important

We know, based on the evidence in the literature, that moderate exercise is safe. If you are keen to take up exercise, speak to your specialist, ensure that a detailed risk evaluation has been undertaken and discuss a shared exercise plan with realistic goals.

The recently ESC guidelines in sports cardiology and the updated AHA/ACC guidelines in management and treatment of HCM support light to moderate exercise in all individuals with HCM. They also provide guidance of other heart conditions too. Most individuals with HCM may engage in recreational sports of low to moderate intensity and competitive sports of low intensity.

Among patients who want to engage in more intensive exercise, a comprehensive assessment is recommended, which considers symptoms, family history, functional capacity, cardiac function, and risk profile. A full complement of cardiac investigations is recommended including an echocardiogram, exercise stress test, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and prolonged ECG monitor.

We recommend that all patients whether with HCM or another heart condition should engage in the minimal physical activity recommendations of 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week divided over 4-5 sessions and preferably 300 minutes per week in able individuals, if symptoms permit, to maximise the benefits of exercise.

They may wish to discuss arranging an exercise stress test with their specialist which can be particularly useful when prescribing exercise because it provides relevant information about functional capacity, exercise induced rhythm abnormalities and your body’s response to exercise.

Apart from walking, patients without symptoms or rhythm

Research News abnormalities during moderate levels of exercise may still be able to do gentle cycling, stationary cycling, treadmill, or low intensity weights, at a heart rate below 75% of the maximum predicted for age and to avoid any exercise that induces symptoms.

We would generally advise avoiding sudden explosive exertion such as sprinting. Exercise programmes are also not recommended particularly those that involve systematic training with increasing intensities and workload. We would advise on a gradual warm-up for at least 10 minutes before starting exercise and a cooldown post exercise. We would also advise avoiding exercise during a fever or diarrhoeal symptoms as this may precipitate electrical abnormalities of the heart.

Individuals should abstain from exercising in extreme adverse environmental conditions.

If individuals would like to engage in free weights, the general advice is to do six repetitions up to three times followed by 2 minutes of rest to prevent fluctuations in blood pressure. Individuals should not push more than 20% of their body weight with the upper limbs and more than 50% of their body weight with the lower limbs in the initial stages of weight training. This may be increased at a later stage if it does not result in a heart rate exceeding 70% of the maximum predicted for age.

In what cases – if ever – might an individual be advised against exercise?

Individuals considered to be high risk including those who have survived a cardiac arrest, experienced unexplained loss of consciousness, report exercise induced symptoms, or have multiple high-risk features (such as obstruction to the blood flow across the left chamber outflow tract (LVOT); significant left chamber wall thickness; fatal rhythm abnormalities from the bottom chambers – NSVT >120bpm) should confine themselves to low intensity only.

This equates to <55% of their maximum heart rate.

Can you tell us about any new research (current or upcoming) which you’re involved with?

There is some limited evidence that reduced size electrical complexes/traces of the heart on the electrocardiogram (ECG) may be associated with scarring in the heart muscle, which may predispose to serious life-threatening electrical abnormalities and sudden cardiac death (SCD).

There is no guidance on reduced ECG traces for young individuals and athletes. Their correct interpretation is crucial for identifying athletes with disease and at risk of SCD. Some athletes experience SCD despite normal standard cardiac tests.

We, therefore, propose to study athletes and young people aged 17-35 years old using cardiovascular MRI and

22

Issue 90 | January - April 2023

genetic analysis to determine the significance of reduced ECG traces. These results should enable informed clinical decisions (at national and international level) following pre-participation screening evaluation and help ultimately to identify young individuals and athletes who are genuinely deemed to be at risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) whilst providing appropriate reassurance to those with normal QRS voltages.

And finally Dr Gati, do you have any further insight that you’d like to share with CRY’s ‘community’ about the ongoing positive impact of CRY’s research programme?

I am passionate about research into the athlete’s heart as well as imaging and electrical changes associated with the risk of sudden cardiac death. I have made significant contribution to the CRY screening programme and it’s phenomenal that we have screened almost 300,000 young individuals in the UK. The CRY screening programme has been pivotal in supporting research in young exercising individuals. The results of some of this data collected via CRY’s screening programme have been published and revealed that one in 300 young individuals in the UK harbours a potentially serious cardiac condition. Early detection of affected individuals results in proactive management strategies.

We have to thank all the supports of CRY who have made this possible and I hope they will continue to generously donate to the charity for this valuable work.

This study is being conducted in collaboration between CRY and Royal Brompton and Harefield hospital charity.

Dr Nikhil Chatrath is one of CRY’s current Research Fellows, based at St George’s, University of London.

In the same journal, ‘Heart’, Dr Chatrath published a review looking at; “Physical activity and exercise recommendations for patients with valvular heart disease” Can you briefly describe the objectives of this research, and why you decided to focus on valvular heart disease (VHD)?

This is a condition that can actually affect people of all ages – although there is a subset of young individuals who can have congenital defects associated with the heart valves (either the mitral or aortic valve). So, the purpose of looking specifically at valvular defects was to help us

Research News analyse the potential impact of exercise.

We know that when we do physical activity we put additional stress on the heart – which normally is good for us. But strenuous exercise can also cause a widening of the heart muscle or the aorta, and as such, researchers often hypothesise that in some people with an underlying heart condition (such as valvular heart disease) this could be exacerbated by very high levels exercise.

In the first instance, we wanted to review the literature available, looking at various studies amongst both athletes and the general public to assess the effects of both exercise and that of a more sedentary lifestyle. And, it’s important to note that as part of this research review, we looked at European Guidelines (all comprising 3-4 multi centre studies), so it was a thorough and comprehensive project.

Generally, how people who have been diagnosed with Valvular Heart Disease (VHD) living with heart conditions know what a ‘safe’ and recommended level of exercise and physical activity is?

The good news is that, by and large, all individuals with mild to moderate valvular heart disease (whether ‘leaky’ or causing a ‘stiffening’ of the valve’) can still exercise without restrictions. Although, of course there are caveats if any new symptoms appear and we would always suggest seeking the advice of your doctor or cardiologist for further assessment. In cases where VHD has been deemed ‘severe’, then it is more than likely that an athlete (or individuals who regularly train at a high level) would be advised to refrain from professional sport and so-called strenuous activity.

If, however, a patient with severe VHD remains symptomless and has undergone an evaluation from their healthcare professional, with ongoing monitoring (e.g. to determine normal heart rhythms, no increase in blood pressure) then low to moderate physical activity is still encouraged and normally considered safe.

What other conclusions did you draw from this important research review?

Overall, we were reassured by these findings and the fact they aligned with our current understanding and recommendations for ‘safe exercise levels’ in those people living with VHD. However, what was interesting – and perhaps a cause for some concern – was the fact we also ‘uncovered’ a general lack of data and research looking at VHD in young people and its impact on lifestyle and exercise considerations. So much of the research carried out globally to date (looking at inherited and congenital heart conditions in young people) have focused on arrythmias and cardiomyopathies. VHD affects a small – but significant – amount of younger people and it feels as though the research focus has gone slightly under the radar.

However, thanks to ongoing funding from CRY families, we have recently been working on some important and pioneering new studies looking at heart valve issues, which will further inform our understanding of the impact on risk of sudden cardiac death and how we might improve diagnosis in asymptomatic young people.

CRY Research Fellow reflects on his recent accolade at international cardiac conference As another of CRY’s inspiring Research Fellows concludes a 3-year tenure with our team based at St George’s, University of London, we’re delighted to announce that Dr Raghav Bhatia was recently awarded “Best of the Best” – for the second time running! – at the 2023 British Cardiovascular Society (BSC) held in Manchester at the start of June.

During his time as a CRY Research Fellow, Dr Bhatia (who

has now returned to a clinical role in Yorkshire, currently working with in the Cardiology Department at Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust) often went above and beyond in his support for CRY. His involvement included taking part in many media interviews on behalf of the charity, attending numerous screenings across all corners of the UK and being an active member of the “Running for Research” team, who not only trained together during their busy schedule at St George’s but also helped to raise over £10,000 in sponsorship!

Here, we chat to him to find more about this awardwinning study and how its findings will help to improve and inform CRY’s nationwide screening programme.

Research News frequent causes of cardiac mortality in young people. Our manuscript will be submitted soon for peer review, and everyone involved in the research looks forward to sharing these findings once published.

What does it mean to you to be recognised for your research at national and international meetings and how do you ensure productivity?

Firstly, congratulations on your recent award at the British Cardiovascular Society (BSC) in the ‘Best of the Best’ category. Can you briefly describe the focus and objectives of this piece of research that you were recognised for?

Being recognised for our research at national and international meetings holds immense significance. It demonstrates that our findings are respected, appreciated and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field. The opportunity to showcase our research conducted at CRY not only highlights the significance of our work but also fosters collaboration, suggestions, and ideas for future work. Most importantly, being recognised at these esteemed gatherings provides hope to the CRY families who have supported my research journey and Fellowship.

Thank you very much. It was truly an honour to receive the cardiomyopathy ‘Best of the Best’ award at the BCS for the second consecutive year. The research for which I was recognised forms an integral part of my PhD thesis, which centres around the prevention of young sudden cardiac death.

The specific focus of this project was to gain a deeper understanding of cardiac and sudden death in young individuals, using novel insights from the Office for National Statistics in England and Wales.

The background to this topic was rooted in the importance of accurately representing the incidence and underlying causes of cardiac and young sudden cardiac death in individuals under 35 years of age and we analysed ONS data from 2013 to 2021 (focusing on a 9-year period, within an incredible 20-year cohort of unique, CRY-data).

Additionally, we aimed to investigate temporal trends in mortality data, which has not been previously reported.

By shedding light on these aspects, our research aimed to make valuable contributions to the understanding and prevention of young sudden cardiac death.

Such an accurate representation is crucial for healthcare policy makers to effectively allocate resources, address issues such as screening for potentially lethal conditions, improving post-mortem evaluations and enhancing resuscitation facilities. This topic built upon the existing work published by Professor Papadakis and Professor Sharma in 2009 which has significantly contributed to the CRY screening programme over the past decade.

The main findings of this research have been really quite significant in terms of our current understanding of the incidence of young sudden cardiac death and the most

Issue 90 | January - April 2023

My approach to clinical research has always been centred around our patients and addressing key, unanswered questions. The recognition I have received is the result of a lot of hard work, which I would like to emphasise has always been a team effort, facilitated by my incredibly supportive colleagues and mentors in London and East Yorkshire, as well as my family, who have been a tremendous pillar of support throughout the rigours and challenges of academia.

In addition to the above research award, can you tell us which of your other research outputs have been presented at national and international award categories in the last 24-months?

Over the past 24 months, there have been several research works led by myself and collaborative efforts with my peers at St. George’s. For example, I am honoured to have received recognition and awards for the following research outputs: •British Cardiovascular Society, Best of the Best

Research News cardiomyopathy section, 2023 (Manchester, UK): Understanding Cardiac and Sudden Death in Young Individuals: Novel Insights from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) in the United Kingdom.

I have also enjoyed contributing to the annual CRY International Conference from 2020 to date.

What are your next research topics focussed around?

My future research outputs remain focussed on cardiac screening and the prevention of young sudden cardiac death. For example, I am currently leading two exciting areas of research, which are near completion.

Firstly, I am delving into the field of myocarditis and its association with sudden cardiac death, particularly in the community i.e., non-hospitalised individuals. This project aims to provide valuable clinical and pathological insights, drawing from the expertise and resources available at the CRY Centre for Cardiac Pathology (CRY CCP). Our objective is to contribute to a better understanding of myocarditisrelated cardiac events and potentially identify strategies for prevention and improved management.

From the early years of my medical career as a junior doctor, I had a strong desire to dedicate a specific period of time to research while also developing expertise in a niche and emerging clinical field. It was during this time that I became aware of the CRY Research Fellowship, which offered a unique opportunity to pursue both of these goals simultaneously.

The Fellowship offered the opportunity to work under the mentorship and guidance of renowned experts in the field, Professor Sanjay Sharma and Professor Michael Papadakis. So, in 2019, after speaking to several past and current CRY Fellows at the time, which included Dr Joyee Basu, Dr Rajay Narain, Dr Gemma Parry-Williams and Prof Aneil Malhotra, I made the decision to apply for the highly competitive CRY Research Fellowship. Following a rigorous selection process, I was fortunate enough to be awarded the fellowship, and my tenure as a CRY Fellow began in February 2020, just prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Fellowship has provided me with an invaluable platform to expand my knowledge base and make meaningful contributions to the field of preventive cardiology. Working alongside esteemed mentors and within the supportive CRY framework has allowed me to not only engage in cutting-edge research but also develop unique clinical skills and expertise.

Overall, the opportunity to undertake a CRY Research Fellowship has aligned well with my career aspirations and provided the ideal environment to foster my growth as a clinician-scientist.

What have been your main highlights during this time?

There have been so many! I guess the best way would be to contextualise these highlights based on quite a diverse role that I have had with CRY.

Secondly, I am in the final stages of a large research project focused on the outcomes of cardiac screening in elite rugby players in the UK. This project aims to shed light on the effectiveness of screening protocols, identify potential risk factors, and explore ways to optimise the cardiac health of these athletes. We aim to contribute to evidence-based recommendations for screening practices in elite sports, ultimately ensuring the well-being and safety of athletes.

If we roll back time, why did you decide to apply for a CRY Research Fellowship?

Research News screening over 15,000 young individuals and working closely with CRY families at each event. Meeting these families and supporters associated with every one of these screenings – and understanding the personal stories behind the fundraising which facilitates CRY’s screening programme – has been a truly humbling and often emotional experience.

Moreover, the welcome I received from CRY Families (who were hosting the screenings I attended), was always so warm. There was also a great deal of interest shown in the research I was involved with, and I like to think we developed a positive rapport. And, collaborating with an exceptional group of volunteers and CRY staff, I really have developed lifelong friendships along the way.

Through my screening experiences, I know that we successfully identified several individuals with ‘dormant’ cardiac conditions associated with young sudden cardiac death and identified individuals with markers requiring onward evaluation. Assessing risk in the community and communicating this to the individual, their family (and importantly, primary care and secondary care physicians in a timely manner) whilst following up on cases has harnessed the finesse required in the field of inherited cardiac conditions.

Supportive colleagues and team: I would like to acknowledge the incredible nurses, physiologists, doctors and support staff at CRY and St George’s. Some of us, recently participated in the Vitality 10K in London, raising over £10,000 to support the CRY research program.

This experience showcased the strong camaraderie and dedication within our team.

Additionally, I have gained qualifications in advanced cardiac imaging modalities such as cardiac MRI and worked in the emerging field of sports cardiology, collaborating with prominent organisations like the English Football Association (FA), Rugby Football Union (RFU), England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), English Institute of Sport (EIS) and British Athletics.

Contributions to Sports Cardiology during the COVID-19 Pandemic: I take particular pride in our contributions to sports cardiology during the novel COVID-19 pandemic.

It started with leading a consensus recommendations paper on safe physical activity and exercise during the first wave. Subsequently, we performed a multi-centre study, which was recently published, involving collaborators from various clubs in the UK, the Netherlands, and Brazil, providing valuable insights in this area.

Lecturer: I have had the opportunity to harness my academic potential as a senior lecturer and module lead in the novel Sports Cardiology MSc at St. George’s, University of London under the guidance of Professor Papadakis, Dr Finocchiaro and Professor Sharma.

This has involved working closely with our MSc students, guiding them in their dissertations, delivering lectures and developing comprehensive course materials. It has been a rewarding experience to contribute to the growth and development of aspiring professionals in the field.

All of these highlights have enriched my journey and I am grateful for the experiences, collaborations, and friendships that have shaped this chapter of my career.

Where are you now in terms of your CRY journey?

While my initial 1-year fellowship evolved into a 3-year tenure at CRY and St. George’s, and I am now at an exciting juncture as I continue to progress in my career.

Currently, I am back in Yorkshire, where I complete the final 12 months of my sub-specialty Cardiology training.

This period allows me to enhance my skills and knowledge in a specific area of cardiology while expanding my expertise beyond the scope of my Fellowship.

Mentorship and exposure to experts in the field: Under the guidance of Professor Papadakis and Professor Sharma, I have had the opportunity to participate in a weekly inherited cardiac clinic and engage in regular local and regional multidisciplinary team meetings. These experiences have allowed me to develop competencies in managing complex cardiomyopathies, ion channel

The CRY journey certainly continues, and I aspire to continue contributing to this amazing charity.

CRY Research Fellows What do CRY Research Fellows do?

Within their role at cardiac screening events they: •Carry out consultations with every person CRY tests •Manage all abnormal screening results Within their role at CRY hospitals they work with Professor Sharma at the CRY Inherited Cadiovascular Conditions clinics St George’s Hospital, London and at Lewisham University Hospital. Prior to 2010 they were based at King’s College Hospital. At these fast track cliniccs families can be seen within a few weeks of referral after the sudden death of a young family member.

Within their role as an academic they: •Publish abstracts and posters of CRY’s research •Publish articles in peer-review journals •Present their research at internation conferences

Do you have any further thoughts and insight you’d like to share with CRY’s ‘community’ or any doctors potentially considering a CRY Research Fellowship?

I have had the privilege of experiencing the positive, diverse and rewarding impact of a CRY Research Fellowship first-hand. The broad exposure facilitates a comprehensive understanding of inherited cardiac conditions and their impact on young individuals and communities. The unique setting of the CRY Research Fellowship offers endless potential for impactful clinical research.

Above all, the CRY fellowship encourages future generations of Consultant Cardiologists to think differently and adopt a more holistic approach to patient care by engaging with individuals in the community, raising awareness, and embracing the concept of prevention. By working outside the traditional models of care delivered in a hospital setting, CRY Fellows can truly make an impact by addressing the broader needs of patients and their families.

I am grateful for these transformative experiences and insights gained during my CRY journey, and I encourage anyone considering a clinical research fellowship to apply and embrace the opportunities and possibilities on offer.

The Fellows play a key role in the CRY Screening Programme as well as supporting families and individuals reffered to the CRY Centre for Inherited Cardiovascular Conditions and Sports Cardiology.

How does CRY fund medical research in young sudden cardiac death?

CRY funds medical research through research grants.

These grants cover a broad spectrum from fast track screening to pathology after a sudden death. The grants also help to provide specialist knowledge of sports cardiology. The field-gathered date in CRY’s screening programme is analysed and reported in peerreviewed journals, providing essential information on the understanding of these conditions.

CRY’s Clinical Cardiology Research Programme CRY will continue to progress research in both elite athletes and the general population. Amongst CRY’s future aims is the identification and precise prevalence of cardiac disorders capable of causing sudden death in asymptomatic and apprently healthy individuals: as well as accurately assessing the cost implications of such a programme if it were implemented at national level.

Where do CRY Research Fellows go after working with CRY? One of CRY’s aims is to improve the quality of cardiology care of those affected by young sudden cardiac death and this will be acheived by increasing the number of specialists in the NHS with an understanding of how to best support families after the impact of these tragedies.

The purpose of training Research Fellows in this specialist area is that they will take these skills to other NHS hospitals throughout the UK.

TCS London Marathon 2023 Congratulations to the 102 runners who took part in the London Marathon on Sunday 23rd April

Sunday 23rd April 2023 marked the London Marathon’s return to its usual spot in the annual calendar of events, having been postponed and moved to October for the last few years due to the pandemic; and #TeamCRY were ready to take on the iconic 26.2 miles through London. We were delighted to have had 102 runners take part on behalf of CRY, raising both vital funds and awareness.

The efforts our runners go to is always inspiring and the sacrifice #TeamCRY make to try and complete the 26.2 miles of the London Marathon is a great motivator to CRY staff and supporters alike. Some runners were taking the marathon on for a second or third time for CRY, others stepped in to fill places with only a month of training, and one runner even decided that 26.2 miles was just one part of their challenge and also cycled 810 miles from John O’Groats to London the week of the Marathon!

CRY also saw a welcome return of one of our previous Research Fellows, Dr Abbas Zaidi. He had swapped his stethoscope for running shoes this time to complete the marathon in 3 hours and 15 minutes! Dr Zaidi was a CRY Research Fellow from 20102013, during this time he helped screen over five thousand young people for cardiac conditions and continues to support CRY to this day, with his expertise in cardiology and now his running shoes.

CRY volunteers and staff were based out on the route at miles 12 and 23 to spur on our charity heroes. The weather on the day was wet for the most part but this did not dampen the spirits of our cheerers and runners.

Issue 90 | January - April 2023

Runners were greeted by CRY staff and volunteers near the finish area, before being guided back to the Institute for Government where CRY were based to offer massages, showers and refreshments.

Upon runners arriving at the post-race venue, they were welcomed with applause and cheers, offered a CRY medal, photographed by CRY staff, and supplied with plenty of refreshments. This was followed by a massage from a therapist with the aim of easing some of the discomfort they might be experiencing, and then a warm well-deserved shower.

This was the first year that CRY had been based at the Institute for Government and we have received plenty of good feedback from runners, supporters and volunteers about the venue. We were so pleased to welcome 56 of our runners, along with their families and friends, back to see us after they had finished. It was a pleasure for CRY staff to meet everyone in person and thank them for their incredible efforts and dedication to the charity.

Thank you so much to the runners and supporters who were able to come and meet us. A huge thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers who were: Andy Clarke; Phoebe Connolly (in memory of Jason Williams); Heather Darby (in memory of Neil Darby); Caroline and Peter Gard (in memory of Andrew Gard); Emel Hamit (in memory of Jenny Kerwood); Phil and Wendy Harrington (in memory of Barry Nivett); Barbara and Jim Holland (in memory of Philip Holland); Isabelle Honey; Jo and Nick Hudson; David and Jan Hughes; Victoria Joy; Julie Lockton; Arianna Mena (in memory of Isabelle Tudisca); Becky Meredith and Henry Sweetman; Peter and Sue Robinson; Suzanne Rowan (in memory of Robert Rowan); David and Deborah Steed; Mike Tointon; Fiona Tucker (in memory of Jack Jarvis) and Paul Ward.

TCS London Marathon 2023 As you can imagine there was a wide variety of emotions on the day, especially so for those who were sadly taking part in memory of someone they have lost. We hope that the experience was a positive one for those involved.

Finally, we would like to thank the CRY runners for their fantastic efforts and valued support. We really appreciate you taking part on behalf of CRY. Congratulations and thank you to you all!

This year, the weather for the 4 Trigs Challenge totally transformed the run, as the sun was out and the horrendous conditions of last year became a distant memory. 129 competitors set off from Sidmouth’s esplanade at 9.30am on Sunday 5th February. Ideal weather and perfect conditions underfoot, were possibly contributing factors as to why two longstanding records were broken. In repetition of last year, Samuel Kelly, of Exmouth Harriers, and Jo Meek, of Tavistock Athletics Club were the first man and first woman home. They both managed to break the existing records. Samuel Kelly came home in 2:09:15 beating G Perratt’s record of

41

Our Fundraisers 2:09:40 back in 2004. Jo Meek came home in 2:36:31 beating L Kendon’s record of 2:37:00 in 2010.

This ‘low-key’ off-road running event covers a distance of approximately 28km with an obscene amount of climb involved. Underfoot is mixed terrain, mainly dirt trails, but with some grass and gravel, not to mention steps, tree roots and some drainage gutters on the route, as well as some steep sections of climb and fast descents. The aim is to visit each of the four Triangulation Pillars around the Sid Valley, with runners choosing their own routes, but they must visit each Trig Point in order (Weston Cliff was first this year), taking in the 5 Check points to help taper the route.

Local club, Sidmouth Running Club, “The Mighty Greens” had been preparing for the challenge by upping their mileage on the Club Sunday runs. This year the training was in worse conditions underfoot than the actual event; no slip sliding down the mud to Weston mouth and running through rivers of water for example! 36 Mighty Greens entered the Challenge. Richard Summerhayes was Sidmouth Running Club’s first man home 2:48:05 in 18th place and Jessica Watkins was SRC’s first woman home in 3:34:33-fantastic running by both.

£2,500.00 was raised from entry fees and donations at the event. Several online donations have also been made post-race, and have boosted funds further, bringing the total so far to £2,750. The amount “The 4 Trigs Challenge” has raised for Cardiac Risk in the Young, has broken another record this year. Thank you to everyone for your generosity.

Marion Hayman sent £600.00 raised by Stephanie and Fluff Preston, and a small team of helpers, on numerous stall events.

Marion Hayman and her team of ladies, led by Stephanie Preston, raised an amazing £682 at their cake bake/ coffee morning on Friday 25th November. Stalls included cakes, bunting, reindeers, Christmas trees, raffle and so much more. The event was well-supported by the local community. The money raised will go to the Jonathan Hayman Memorial Fund.

• The Sid Valley Cycle Club raised £285.00 through a raffle at their Annual Dinner and Presentation Evening.

• Marion Hayman sent two donations £170.00 raised

by Marguerite and Pete Grant from produce on stalls and £600.00 raised by Stephanie and Fluff Preston, and a small team of helpers, on numerous stall events.

• John Keast donated £1,000.00.

New to the event this year was a team from Sidmouth Primary School, put together by Jess Trim and Adrian Horne. They wanted to raise extra funds for the school and the CRY charity, by asking for sponsors amongst staff, parents, friends and family.

Local businesses added their support to the event. Kate Truman of Phyzz Soft Tissue Therapy kindly provided a post-race massage, for any runners in need, in return for donations to the charity. A big thank you, must go to the sponsors of the event, Nigel Winchester, of Ian Winchesters and Sons, and Richard King of Kings Garden and Leisure. Also, to the Marshals out on the course and on the finish line, and to the team at the clubhouse providing refreshments.

A special mention must also go to our 10-year-old granddaughter Chloe Frisby, who was there from 7.30am.

She helped with registration by giving out the numbers.

She then helped in the kitchen preparing food, waited on tables and cleared up. When we got home after a very long day, she counted the money in the CRY collection boxes. It was so lovely to have her involved in the CRY family and my fundraising event.

Kieran Joyce

“Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs In February 2023, almost three years since our last production, HAPS finally got to perform their 40th Pantomime. This was the first time HAPS had performed Snow White and we were thrilled to bring it to the Courtyard, Hereford.

We welcomed 10 new members this year, mainly youngsters with a mixture of ages and abilities who brought such fun and laughter to rehearsals. Many of them took on a small principal role for the first time.

What a wonderful week it was being back on stage doing what we all love – performing and spreading fun and laughter to audiences.

Each year HAPS endeavour to make a donation to a local charity of their choice and in 2023 the chosen Charity was CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) – Kieran Joyce Memorial Fund.

This fund was set up by the Joyce family to support CRY reduce the frequency of young sudden cardiac death. In September 2019 Kieran, who was only 15, fell asleep and never woke up. He was a fit and healthy youngster. The fund was set up by Kieran’s family, not only to inform and create awareness, but also to raise money in Kieran’s memory. CRY facilitate the vital screening needed to help avert cases of young sudden cardiac death. For every £6,000 raised, this allows for a team to come along to Hereford for a day and screen 100 young adults between the ages of 14 to 35. During the run of our show over 180 young people were screened at the local football ground, including several members of the cast.

Louisa Tobin said it was a great privilege as HAPS Chairman and Snow White in the show, to present a cheque on the last night to Kieran’s mum, Andrea and daughter Ruby Joyce for £2,000.

• Andrea Joyce sent donations of £2,000.00 raised through a cocktail party, £147.00 raised through glitter face painting by Sarah Davies at smoke feast and £1,605.00 raised from her Cocktail Party.

• Dove Bank Primary School lunchtime and catering staff donated £100.00 in lieu of Christmas cards and and secret santa.

Suanu Saro-Wiwa

“Hi everyone!! We’re Katie and Hannah. We undertook our first fundraising event 4 years ago, a 10km run dressed as rhinos!

This August we took on a new challenge, a tandem cycle from London to Paris – and back!

As amateur cyclists, getting to grips with a tandem was… interesting, but 729km of cycling, £1550 raised for an absolutely amazing cause and just like that…we made it back to London Town. I don’t think there was any point on this journey where we were really sure we’d make it in one piece – but we did, and it has been truly incredible!! (we might even go as far as to say we are really gonna miss the tandem).

We are so so grateful for everyone who’s donated and supported us on our way, it’s really kept us going There’s probably a book we could write of all the lessons we’ve learnt but top of the list would be to never ever (like seriously never) cycle on a motorway R&R is very much needed right now, but you best believe this is not the last crazy idea we will come up with – so stay tuned;)

Raising awareness with the Update

One way to further the use of CRY’s Update magazine is by sharing it with other people. For those who may not be familiar with CRY, the Update can be a good way for them to learn more about young sudden cardiac death and what CRY and our supporters are doing to prevent more tragedies.

To inform others, and hopefully encourage them to get involved with CRY, why not try sharing the Update magazine however you can? This could include leaving a copy in a waiting room or reception area, or somewhere at your workplace; taking one to a fundraising event for passers-by to flick through; or even by posting a link to the online version on social media.

As CRY’s printed publications halted during the pandemic, we developed the digital version of the Update.

We’re able to add more engaging features to the digital issue that simply can’t work in the printed copy. For one, we can include links for you to quickly access relevant pages on the CRY website, social media posts from recent months, interviews from members of the CRY team and our supporters, and more. We also include videos covering all sorts of topics for you to enjoy watching as you click through the online magazine.

The more that word of CRY’s work and young sudden cardiac death is shared – however that may be – the better. And because it’s so easy to share a link with others or post it on social media, the digital version is often easiest for raising more awareness too.

We would encourage you to subscribe to the digital version of the Update, but you can also subscribe to receive a printed copy. You can sign up to receive your preferred choice here: www.c-r-y.org.uk/subscribe

Sir Ian Botham OBE

Honorary President of CRY “It is not just athletes who are at risk of these heart disorders – it can happen to anyone. The problem has been swept under the carpet for too long and there have been too many excuses. I am a parent and a grandparent and I want to know that my kids and grandkids will be screened as a matter of course. It’s the only way we can prevent these sudden deaths occurring.”

Our Mission When Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) was founded in 1995 it was the first organisation to draw attention to the range of conditions that can cause young sudden cardiac death (YSCD).

Every week in the UK at least 12 apparently fit and healthy young people die of undiagnosed heart conditions.

These conditions include hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and other diseases of the heart muscle, as well as electrical heart disorders which can lead to sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS).

CRY aims to reduce the frequency of YSCD through raising awareness amongst the general public and medical community, providing expert cardiac pathology, improving early diagnosis through screening, supporting young people diagnosed and funding research.

1 in 300 young people CRY tests will have a potentially lifethreatening heart condition.

CRY believes cardiac screening should be available to all young people aged between 14 and 35.

Registered Charity No. 1050845

CRY also works to guide and support families and close friends affected by YSCD. We provide information to explain what the coroner does, bereavement support, help with NHS referrals and advice on the procedures that usually follow a YSCD. In 80% of cases of young sudden cardiac death there are no prior

We are very proud that over 80p in every £1 we spend goes into supporting CRY’s key aims.
