A PIONEERING screening programme to identify heart conditions in the young – set up in memory of a talented Rugby man who died suddenly due to an undiagnosed condition – is being rolled out again.
Anthony Lane died in 2022 at the age of just 26 when he suffered a cardiac arrest while exercising.
Now his dad Paul is putting on the second cardiac screening day in his son’s memory, after last year’s event potentially saved three lives by identifying potential heart conditions.
Paul added: “They say events happen for a reason, and Anthony’s passing away and our work with CRY has given us the ability to organise the screening session, which we’re hoping we can do long term, and at the end of that we may have saved a young person’s life.”
