since losing our beloved son Shamil in December 2010 to an undiagnosed heart condition we have been trying to raise awareness of this cruel and silent syndrome that takes the lives of 12 young people a week in the U.K.
Although Shamil was living in the U.K. when we lost him, we were, and still are, living overseas, in Kuwait where Shamil grew up. It is shocking how little is known about SADS and we had never even heard of CRY until our lives were shattered.
Cakes for CRY have been raising awareness of SADS in Kuwait. All profits from the sales go into the Shamil Hamid Memorial Fund which is collecting funds for screening.
So far we have raised £2,110 through Cakes for CRY.
The support has been truly amazing and it is so satisfying to hear people say that they will get their young ones screened.
