Financial Times - Cardiac Risk in the Young

Help us save young lives

At Cardiac Risk in the Young, we’re on a mission to prevent young sudden cardiac death. With your support, we can make a life-saving difference.

Every week in the UK, 12 young people die suddenly from undiagnosed heart conditions.

“In 1993, my friend Howard English tragically passed away on the rugby pitch at the age of 32 due to an undiagnosed cardiac condition. Eleven years later, his son Sebastian fell victim to the same cause. 12 young people a week continue to lose their lives in similar circumstances, when it can be prevented. With your support, we can save young lives.”
