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.

Tom Clabburn's Story

Today should have been my son’s 15th birthday. Instead I am writing about life after Tom. Tom died in his sleep in October this year of an undiagnosed heart-related condition. He had been fit, active, healthy, doing well at school, bright and happy. We were not, in any way, prepared. This is not about my wife…

Hannah Turberville's Story

Our daughter Hannah Turberville died suddenly on February 17th 2007 aged just 7 years old. Her death was made even more dramatic by the fact we were on holiday as a family, in France, due to return to England the following morning. We were skiing with Lucy, Hannah’s non-identical twin sister, and Oliver, her 8 year…

Kieran Formby's Story

It’s now 8 months since, on the eventful evening of 13th September 2008, we learnt our dearly beloved son Kieran had died and left us. I am sure that we do not have to tell you how we feel, only that he along with his surviving sister Sinead, they were our very reason and purpose for…

Stuart Attridge's Story

Stuart was born on Saturday 11th October 1980 at 9.30pm at the old Redhill General Hospital. He waited until the Dinner Dance was underway and then made his appearance in his usual rush, with our doctor only just catching him as he was born. Rosemary’s first comment was on how small he was – the lightest…

Matthew ‘Love’ Bradley's Story

How do I begin? How can any mother start to recount the most awful day of her life? It has taken me nearly three years to begin to come to terms with our sad loss. It began on March 27th 2007, which just happened to be my birthday. The day began with usual birthday wishes and…

Mark Phelps's Story

Mark was 25 when he died on the 18th November 2002. At the time I (his brother Matthew) was working away and received a call from my mother just after 6.30 to say he had died. For me it was the most surreal phone call I have ever received and I hurriedly got to Euston station…

Sarah Booth's Story

In June 2010 my wife Ita and myself celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with a long weekend in the beautiful City of Rome. While there we reflected on how sweet our life was and how fortunate we were to have three lovely children in Claire (19), Owen (16) and Sarah (15). However in the weekend following…

Neil 'Kymatik' Shuyleman's Story

What can possibly prepare you for the total shock of being told – however gently – that your beloved only son had suddenly and unexpectedly 'passed away'. What! How? When? The thought rushed through my head 'Can I get there to see him before it is too late!'. Then the dawning impact that the strong, happy,…

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.
