Providing vital cardiac screening appointments for young people aged 14-35 years
In memory of Nathan Bryan, who died aged 31 from Young Sudden Cardiac Death
In February 2019, our son Nathan died aged 31 years from Young Sudden Cardiac Death (YSCD). My wife Gill and I found Nathan dead in his bed, a memory that will live with us forever.
In the dark days and months following Nathan's death, Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) provided much needed grief counselling for my wife.
In late 2021, we formed a community group called "The Beat Goes On" and commenced fundraising to provide cardiac screening for young people in our community.
