A Place in the Sun host Jasmine Harman has shared a devastating video by her husband Jon. The camera operator’s sister, Joanne, died unexpectedly after going into cardiac arrest, leaving him bereft.
He is now passionately declaring his support for the CRY charity, which helps with screening for cardiac risk in young people.
In an emotional video, he announced: “I support CRY in memory of my amazing sister, Joanne White.
“[She] passed away suddenly in the night in 2016, from sudden cardiac death,” he revealed.
“Jo was an amazing mother, daughter, auntie, wife and sister. The reason I support CRY is they were there for her family when she was taken so suddenly, offering us guidance and immediate screening.”
“Any funds raised will continue to support the amazing work CRY do in their research, the screening of young people for potential heart problems and raising awareness of young, unexplained cardiac deaths,” he explained, his voice quavering with emotion.
He finally added: “On behalf of Jo, or anyone tragically affected by sudden cardiac death, thank you for all that you do.”
