Story
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a serious, under-diagnosed heart condition that can cause heart attacks in otherwise healthy people, often with no warning and no known cause.
Beat SCAD is a patient-led charity working to raise awareness, support those affected, and fund vital research to better understand and treat SCAD.
I am walking to raise money to fund research and ultimately save lives.
I had my SCAD in 2024 and with the help and support from the Beat SCAD team I am learning to live with this condition.
Why it matters
SCAD cannot currently be predicted or prevented, but research is changing that.
Every pound raised helps:
• Fund life-saving research
• Improve diagnosis and treatment
• Support patients and families
Together, we are finding answers – and saving lives.
