CRY is a wonderful charity working to prevent young sudden cardiac deaths and was nominated by Merkur’s UK Expansion Manager, Chris Green for very personal and moving reasons.
Chris takes up the story: “My wife sadly lost her eldest daughter in 2014 from a sudden cardiac arrest aged just 17. Since then, we have raised many thousands of pounds and installed around 20 defibrillators in schools and sports clubs in the midlands in her memory. I’m delighted to confirm that we succeeded in meeting our target of £17,000 which will allow us to provide two heart screening days for 200 young adults aged between 14 and 35 in the Midlands local area.”
Tony Boulton, Director of Public and Political Relations commented: “The award to CRY illustrates exactly what MERKUR Initiative is all about which is supporting those charities, good causes and individuals that do not receive the recognition they deserve. It is a hugely deserving charity which resonates with many members of the MERKUR UK team.”
