She has now raised over £32,000, with £7000 of the money funding a recent heart screening day on 18th July. 105 young people aged between 14 and 35 were tested by CRY specialists at Totton College, where Ryan studied and had been a student governor. Everyone that had signed up had an ECG, Echo and saw the cardiologist on the day. 3 of those attending have been referred to hospital for further investigation and a high number of follow up letters were sent out to GP’s. Sue had the pleasure of welcoming Sir Julian Lewis MP, Chairman of New Forest District Council David Penny and Cllr Joe Reilly on the day, who spoke to her to nd out more about the heart screening and were impressed with the set up and the service o ered. Sue comments: “The team explained the importance of our screenings and the work undertaken by bereaved parents to help source the donations to make this possible. Both Sir Julian Lewis MP and Cllr Penny asked me my thoughts on why I’m doing it; the answer was that if we knew heart screening was available my son Ryan would still be here now. They asked what I would like to see happen, I said it would be lovely to see all year 11s heart screened and given GP support. Local schools can help fund screening with donations and voluntary contributions from families, this happens already at Mountbatten School CRY Heart Team with Sir Julian Lewis MP, Sue Carter, Cllr David Penny and Sue’s partner Gary Cowper in Romsey. Local football teams are also supporting fundraising themselves to get their teams screened. It’s hard work emotionally and physically to continue fundraising, but we do it to stop other families going through the same grief of sudden death. The next screening day is planned for 24th April.” If you would like to make a donation to the Ryan Carter Memorial Heart Screening CRY fund please visit: www.c-r-y.org.uk/ryancarter are incredibly grateful to everyone who supported this appeal. Reaching our £10,000 target in less than 24 hours was an amazing response and means we can cover the cost of damage to the Lodge. This was an unexpected bill that wasn’t covered by insurance, so the support we received has made a real difference. Thanks to our supporters, reception is now back to normal, and we can continue focusing on our work supporting neuro disabled people.” Minstead Trust supports around 600 neuro disabled people in the local community, helping people develop skills, build con dence and live more independent lives. Although the appeal has reached its target, supporters can still make a donation to help cover any remaining repair costs and support the charity’s ongoing work.
