Story

SCAD is a serious heart condition which is striking healthy women and men... people who you probably wouldn't think would be at risk of having a heart attack. When SCAD strikes, it is life-changing for the patient and their loved ones. SCAD can be fatal. It is critical that we find out what causes SCAD.

SCAD survivors are supported by an incredible team of researchers in Leicester at the Glenfield Hospital & NIHR Biomedical Research Centre, led by Dr David Adlam (https://scad.lcbru.le.ac.uk/).

Beat SCAD are working to raise £25,000 to support a new Clinical Research Fellow to work alongside Dr Adlam.

Beat SCAD is a patient-led charity that launched in 2015 to raise awareness of SCAD, support SCAD patients and their families, and raise funds for research to find answers about this condition.

Beat SCAD was a huge support to me following my own SCAD in 2017, and I would be so grateful if you feel you could contribute to our fundraising walk in Leicestershire on 15th June 2024.

Thank you for your support!
