Mehmet Zekayi - I was motivated to run my first marathon after the
tragic los of my brother who died of a cardiac arrest in 2009. He
was only 52 years old and was perfectly fit and healthy and it really
hit home to me just how vulnerable people are.

Cardiac arrest in
the young: rare but possible
It can be hard to believe that someone young and active may be at risk
from heart problems, but each week in the UK at least 12 apparently fit
and healthy young people die from undiagnosed heart conditions. Cardiac
Risk in the Young (CRY) is a charity that works to support families
affected by the sudden cardiac death of a young person, to help young
people who have been diagnosed with life threatening heart conditions
and to reduce the number of tragedies that occur. 2010 marked the 15th
anniversary year of CRY. Here, Gareth Mallon, a community paramedic and
developing tutor for the East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS),
discusses his personal involvement with the charity in more detail. |
