Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) aims to reduce the frequency of young sudden cardiac death. Every week in the UK at least 12 young people die of undiagnosed heart conditions. CRY supports young people diagnosed with potentially life-threatening cardiac conditions, offers bereavement support and organises heart screening programmes and funds medical research. Patrons include Sir Ian Botham, Joe Root and Pixie Lott.

A Newstead Brass spokesman commented, “St. Wilfrid’s a wonderful
church with acoustics that support the wonderful sound of brass and choral
singing. We’re delighted to be working
with Kirkby Rotary Club and hope that the church will be full to maximise the
donation we can make to the work of CRY.”
