South Swindon MP Julia
Drown has backed a hard-hitting national campaign highlighting the
hundreds of sudden cardiac deaths in young people.
The campaign features
eight people under 38 who died from previously undetected heart conditions
and represent the eight lives lost each week in the UK to the condition.
Cardiac Risk in the Young
unveiled a postcard showing the faces of the eight, which it plans to send
out to supporters in the hope they will pass them on to the local MPs and
encourage them to join an all party Parliamentary group.
New cards will be
launched each month showing victims from different regions.
Ms
Drown said: “I applaud the charity for tackling the issue of sudden
death in the young in such a brave and emotive way.
It should certainly make the public and all MPs take notice of
their important work and pledge to their campaign.”
