The purpose of our challenge is to raise money for our charity partners. We have teamed up with Cardiac Risk in the Young and Friends of Navajeevana. Both are small UK registered charities, staffed by volunteers undertaking fantastic medical and overseas development work. Through the generosity of our sponsors and suppliers, we hope to raise a significant sum for these two fantastic charities.

Cardiac Risk in the Young

CRY was founded in 1995 to raise awareness of conditions that can lead to young sudden cardiac death (YSCD) and sudden death syndrome (SDS). CRY funds invaluable work on a number of different important areas including funding of medical research and offering counsel and support to families affected by cardiac conditions.
