Cardiac Screening

On the 9th March 2013, as close as possible to Gideon's birthday which is the 3rd., a CRY screening event was held at  Leigh Primary Care Centre. On the day, 98 young people between the ages of 14 and 35 were given an ECG (electrocardiogram.) In some cases this was followed up with an echo cardiogram. All cases were seen and reviewed by a doctor trained in this speciality and several were referred back to their GP for further treatment or investigation. Some were advised that a condition was noted and should be monitored.

Funding to pay for the event was provided by the Gideon Baws Memorial Fund established at CRY. Money came from profits of  "Fishing With Harry" (royalties and private sales) and especially by Gideon's good friend Kenny who ran both the Royal Parks half marathon and the full Berlin Marathon. Several kind people also made donations. Thank you to the CRY team and everyone for their support.

The amount of money left in the fund after the cost of this event is almost enough to hold another, so we have booked Saturday 14th March 2014 at the same venue. Details will be announced in due course. All booking is through the CRY website.
