Cardiac Risk in the Young Verified by JustGiving
RCN 1050845 (England & Wales), SC052581 (Scotland)
Each week at least twelve young people in the UK die suddenly as a result of undiagnosed heart conditions. At Cardiac Risk In the Young we aim to save young lives & to help those affected by young sudden cardiac death (YSCD). We do this by providing support, information & screening those affected.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Our beautiful son Joe was 12 years old in December 2012 and on the 28th December he collapsed from a sudden cardiac arrest 10 minutes into a family walk. Tragically after 5 hours of trying, they were unable to save him. We are left devastated and have a void in our lives which nothing will ever fill. We don't want this to happen to any other young person (or their family) and CRY are doing amazing work to try to prevent 12 young people per week from suffering the same fate. CRY also provide support to people like us who are left trying to pick up the fragments of their lives and try to rebuild a future without our precious children.
