Year 9 pupil, Tom Hughes booked a heart screening with CRY after a family friend died of an undiagnosed heart condition. Tom said, “Often you don’t think about something until it happens to you or one of your close friends. Last year my godmother Sandy Bennett rang us to tell us that her brother, Mick had collapsed and died suddenly playing football. It was a really big shock. He was a fit, healthy and loved sport.”
Tom sought out CRY and now wants to pass on the information he learned about heart screenings to help bring the numbers of YSCD down.
