Cardiac Risk in the Young - Tom Petley Memorial

18/10/2026

Today is a deeply special and emotional day for all of us. Today would have been Tom’s 25th birthday. 🕊️💙

While it breaks our hearts that he isn't here to celebrate this milestone with us, we want today to be about remembering the incredible person he was and the light he brought into our lives.

To mark the occasion, we will be meeting at Tom’s bench today at 4:00 PM. We would love for anyone who knew and loved him to join us, share some memories, and raise a glass in his honour. 🍻✨

Through everything we do in memory of Tom, and through all our ongoing work with Cardiac Risk in the Young, his legacy continues to make a real, life-saving difference every single day. We couldn't do it without the endless love and support of this community.

If you can't make it to the bench this afternoon, please still pour a drink, share a smile, and raise a glass to Tom wherever you are.

Happy 25th Birthday, Tom. We miss you always. 💙
