Claire Prosser and a group of her old work colleagues raised more than £830 at a book and cake sale held at the BBC in Shepherds Bush on Tuesday 3rd December 2013.
“More than £830 was raised at the latest book and cake sale for the Tom Clabburn Memorial Fund run by CRY. Ealing schoolboy Tom died suddenly in 2007 of an undiagnosed heart condition.
The sale was the 12th organised by Tom’s mum, Claire Prosser, and was held at the BBC in Shepherds Bush where she used to work.
All the money raised will go towards funding heart screenings in West London, the most recent of which were held in November 2013.
As everyone knows, it takes a lot of people to fund-raise and thanks for help on the day goes to Ruth Akins,Vicky Pearson, Jacky Hems, Simon Wright, Sue Ellis, Angelique Halliburton, Lorna Donlan, Phill Thomas, Bridget Osborne, Sam Upton, Elspeth Morrison and Jane Kinghorn.
Books were supplied by former BBC colleagues, Annie Flury on Radio Five Live, Gillian Dear on Radio Four and the One Show.
And a number of friends donated home-made cakes which really attracted the customers – Ruth Akins, Gina Bentley, Elin Hale, Faith Howells, Shona MacMillan, Alison Montgomery, Elspeth Morrison, Linda Panzer, Elizabeth Porter, Anne-Marie Reilly, Isabel Turner and Debbie Young.”
