Lorna Doran fundraising for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY)
I am delighted to be fundraising for the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) at the 39th Legendary Marathon des Sables. CRY Ireland provides support to patients and families who have lost someone to sudden cardiac death. The monies raised will go to the diagnostic centre for Cardiac Risk in Younger Persons (CRYP Centre) for equipment used in cardiac screening. On the 4th April 2025, I will be taking part in the Marathon des Sables, known as the toughest foot race on earth. This is a 6 day, multistage, 250 km ultra-marathon in the Sahara Desert, carrying all my kit and camping gear. All your donations would be welcome for this fantastic charity. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my fundraising page.
