Dabber’s Dash – Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY)

📍 Date: Saturday, 15th February | Time: 8:45 for 9 AM | Location: Barony Park, Nantwich, Cheshire, CW5 5QY.

💓 February’s Theme: Heart Health and Cardiac Risk in The Young (CRY)

To mark National Heart Month, we’re shining a light on heart health, defibrillator awareness, and Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY). We’re also encouraging young people (14-35) to get involved and to register for local heart screenings.

🔔 Special Guests Include:

Deb Dixon and Alison Howells: To explain what Cardiac Risk in the Young does and why it is important to push for 14-35 year olds to have their hearts screened. Deb and Alison will also be available to answer questions the community may have. Welcome back to Dabbers Dash Alison and also see Deb’s inspirational Pride of Britain 2023 Special Recognition video to appreciate the heroism of such amazing people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo6UpbpHWqU

Oh Yay, Oh Yay!! – Our own independent Town CRY-er will be making a grand announcement to start the Dash—don’t miss it!

Details:

It’s Simple…Run, walk or wheel up to 5km around the Barony and along Sandford Road. You can do as much or as little as you choose. It is free and all are welcome to join me.

This Dabber’s Dash will be in support of National Heart Month raising awareness of Cardiac Risk in the Young (aged 14-35):

– Every week in the UK at least 12 apparently fit and healthy young people die of undiagnosed heart conditions. (citation)
In 80% of cases of young sudden cardiac death (YSCD) there are no prior symptoms.
– CRY’s mission is to prevent young sudden cardiac death through awareness, screening and research, and to support families after a tragedy.
– CRY promotes the choice for screening. All people aged 14 to 35 should have the choice to be screened. www.testmyheart.org.uk
– 1 in 300 people will have potentially life-threatening heart condition.
– CRY’s screening programme is heavily subsidised and all of our publicly available screenings are funded by CRY families, these are in memory of someone who has died a sudden cardiac death, meaning CRY’s screenings are free for the public to attend. www.testmyheart.org.uk
-CRY’s screening programme tests elite Olympic athletes; England Rugby Football Union and all Premiership Rugby Football Union clubs; Great Britain Rugby League and Super Rugby League clubs; Lawn Tennis Association players; County Cricket clubs and some premier league and Football League clubs.
-CRY’s screening programme is overseen by the Charity’s Consultant Cardiologist, Professor Sanjay Sharma (St. George’s NHS Trust.)

If you want to do less than 5km or jog/walk/scoot with your kids (who you’re responsible for) then come and join in.
