Raising Awareness Saves Young Lives

               Cardiac Risk in the Young
               Every week in the UK at least 12 young people die of undiagnosed heart conditions. Cardiac Risk
               in the Young (CRY) aims to reduce the frequency of young sudden cardiac death (YSCD). CRY
               supports young people diagnosed with potentially life-threatening cardiac conditions and offers
               bereavement support to families affected by YSCD. CRY promotes and develops heart screening
               programmes and funds medical research. CRY publishes and distributes medical information
               written by leading cardiologists for the general public. CRY funds fast track referral, screening and
               cardiac pathology services at leading UK hospitals.
