Support

Following a young sudden cardiac death CRY offers help to families through our bereavement support programme, as well as helping families to understand what caused the death and to be referred to inherited cardiac conditions specialists.

Awareness

Awareness not only helps identify those at risk, but also ensures correct clinical practice when treating a young person with an inherited cardiac condition.

Screening

CRY wants All young people to have the opportunity to have heart screening. 1 in 300 people CRY tests will have a potentially life threatening heart condition which will benefit from lifestyle advice, treatment and sometimes corrective surgery.

Research

CRY funds world leading research which is transforming our understanding of the causes and prevention of Young Sudden Cardiac Death as well as the treatment of those at risk.

In June 2010 my wife Ita and myself celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with a long weekend in the beautiful City of Rome.

Martyn Luckett's Story

Monday 11 July 2005 was the worst day of my life. As I stood in the flat I thought this wasn’t happening to me, it must be a dream. As I waited in the hospital I remember thinking everything will be ok. Then I watched as the doctor approached me and I knew by the expression…

It’s now been eleven months since our daughter Kay left us. We do not have to tell you how we feel, only that she along with her surviving sister Kelly, was one half of our life’s work and soul purpose for living. We still do not understand why she died save the medical verdict was myocarditis,…

Tom was 30 when he passed away on 15th June 2009. My phone was ringing at 5.30am that morning. Panic set in, it had to be bad news. It was my Dad telling me that my brother had passed away. Disbelief set in. He was 30. He had gone to bed on the Sunday night and…

Sam Wright's Story

20th September 1996 – 28th April 2013. Conor was a happy, fun loving, intelligent young boy, who never wanted more than he needed; he had his whole life ahead of him and had hoped to be a fireman. On the 26th April 2013 my husband and I dropped Conor to his nan’s were he was to…

Cardiac Screening

CRY offers subsidised ECG and Echocardiogram screening to all young people between the ages of 14 & 35. There is a simple way to diagnose most cardiac abnormalities. This is by having an ECG (electrocardiogram) test. Results should be read by a cardiologist. For extra clarity an Echocardiogram (ultrasound scan) can also be done.If there has been a young (under 35) sudden death in the family, the family is entitled to be screened on the NHS. All of CRY’s public events are free to attend.
