At
the recent meeting of the Inner Wheel Club of Tavistock, Jenny Thomas,
local speaker and advocate for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) gave
a moving talk about the work of CRY, which aims to raise awareness,
fund research, provide screening for 14 to 25 year olds and support
bereaved families, who have lost a young adult from a cardiac death.
On average 12 young people die of undiagnosed heart conditions every
week in the UK.
Screening tends to find one young person with a heart condition
in every 100 screened. They also fund genetic research into heart
conditions. A day of screening costs about £7000 and can see
125 people. All of the 2012 UK Olympic Team were screened by CRY.
A cheque for £1000 was donated to the charity.

My
name is Joyce Moir and I have been a member of Inner Wheel for 58
years. I started in Camelford in 1967 when my husband and I moved
there from London for work. I was invited to join Inner Wheel and
it was a new club, just started and we were all young and eager
to work for Inner Wheel.
After 5 years there we moved to Launceston and I was to join Launceston
Inner Wheel which I did. I have enjoyed my many years as a member
and made many friends and still do. I have been President twice
and Secretary many times also Club Correspondent.
I have found Inner Wheel very interesting and enjoy the meetings,
coffee mornings etc.
I look forward to a few more years of possible as I am 94 years
of age! Joyce Moir
