A woman from north Wales whose
daughter died of a rare heart condition is helping to launch a campaign to
raise awareness of sudden cardiac deaths.
 Doreen
Harley's daughter Lisa Browne (right) died aged 27 in January 1998
after she was startled by her alarm clock.
Members of Mrs Harley's family
were later found to have the rare hereditary heart complaint Long QT Syndrome.
Mrs Harley is launching a postcard
in north Wales for the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY).
The charity's UK-wide campaign
aims to reduce sudden death from heart conditions in young people under the
age of 35 by raising awareness.
The postcard shows eight young
people in Wales who have died suddenly of a previously undiagnosed heart
complaint.
According to the charity, that
number of young people die suddenly each week in the UK from heart conditions.
