Ben Peters, 25, died hours after being discharged from hospital, where doctors diagnosed him with anxiety – but his family discovered he had a catastrophic haemorrhage within his heart
Ben’s family now want to raise awareness of the condition and raise money for a charity supporting families which lose young loved ones to heart problems.
After getting advice from the charity C.R.Y. (Cardiac Risk in the Young), Ben’s immediate family, including his two brothers Harry and Michael, mum Anna and dad Stephen, underwent MRI scans, ECGs and echocardiograms to check their own hearts.
On July 8, Ben’s family and friends are hosting a charity football match at Cheadle’s football ground. The team Ben ran, Cheadle Atlas, will play Davenport AFC in a match called ‘Kick for C.R.Y.’.
“We’re trying to raise money for C.R.Y. which has been a real, massive help”, Michael said.
