 | CRY (CARDIAC RISK IN THE YOUNG) |
CRY is a charity that offers help, support and counselling to families where
there has been a sudden cardiac death of an apparently fit and healthy young
person (Sudden Death Syndrome). CRY was founded in 1995 by a Bereavement
Counsellor with the aim of helping families who had suffered from a young
sudden cardiac death. The group has the following aims. - To emphasise the considerable amount that can be done if the condition is
diagnosed.
- To support medical research into Sudden Death Syndrome.
- To offer counsel and support to families affected.
- To highlight the symptoms.
- To put in place a national testing programme.
