TEN years ago, Aaron Dixon was at home with his family having been out the night before with his sister and his friends.

He was a fit and healthy 23-year-old who loved football and going to the gym.

When his dad Gary went upstairs to tell Aaron his tea was ready, he found his son unresponsive and immediately started CPR.

Mum Debbie called for the paramedics but it was too late.

Aaron had died following a cardiac arrest at just 23.

After his death, Aaron’s family were told he had arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) – an undetected genetic heart defect that can cause cardiac arrest, if undetected and untreated.
