<p>In <strong>Summer 2011</strong> Carys Griff, Boss, Geesy &amp; I (Rach) have taken it upon ourselves to delve into the air from a plane in the aid of charity! We will be diving for a heart charity named SADS. Alot of people have lost people to heart conditions but not a lot of people know the dangers. So here's a run down of what the charity does:<br />&nbsp;<br /></p> <p>Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD)<br />Sudden cardiac death is a dramatic and/or spontaneous death that is thought to be (and usually is) caused by a heart condition.<br /><br />Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS)<br />In about 1 in every 20 cases of sudden cardiac death, no definite cause of death can be found, even after the heart has been examined by an expert cardiac pathologist. This is then called Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome. In the past it has also been called Sudden Adult Death Syndrome or Sudden Death Syndrome but, because it affects children too, the term Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome is now used. It is thought that cot death (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS) may be partly due to the same causes responsible for SADS.<br /><br /><br />This charity works towards helping family with bereavement, funding heart scans and treatment for relatives of those who've suffered from sudden cardiac arrest (a lot of the disorders are hereditory) by purchasing and donating heart monitoring equipment to doctors&rsquo; surgeries and hospitals throughout the country, they also raises awareness with flyers and campaigns.<br /><br /></p> <p><br /><br /><strong>FOR FURTHER INFO</strong> : http://www.sadsuk.org/<br /><br /><strong><br />Thank you ladies and gents, and dig deep please, it's a good cause!</strong></p>
