I want to get government funding for a well deserving charity called Cardiac Risk In The Young (CRY), I feel that the work they do is highly important within the UK. I have personal experience with the work of charity, and also know friends that have benefited from their work, and due to this feel it benefits huge numbers of people nation wide. Please sign this petition to prove to local MPs that people feel strongly about this issue and feel it deserves government funding. If you want to find out more about the charity please visit http://www.c-r-y.org.uk/, the official website and support my facebook page for it at Cardiac Risk In The Young- CRY Thank You very much for supporting my cause it means a lot to me and the charity

The number of people who have shared their personal experiences with cardiac conditions has been profound. I am currently preparing a formal proposal to present these accounts to the relevant government offices. Thank you for providing the momentum necessary to bring this critical issue to their attention.

February 20, 2016

The momentum behind this effort has reached a level that far exceeds my initial expectations. This progress serves as a clear indication that the work performed by Cardiac Risk In The Young is deeply valued by members of the public. I am now preparing to formalize our request for a review of government funding.

Our son died from Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndrome. He was active, healthy & had no symptoms. Heart screening should be mandatory for all 14 year olds in the UK.

Having lost a 14-year-old son to an undiagnosed heart condition, I believe there should be a national screening service for young people and, in the absence of such, funding CRY is the next best option.

Very valuable I've been screened in the past and currently. Professor Sanjay Sharma is just simply brilliant at what he does. Every athlete should be screened. His knowledge in this area is exemplary and he is reveered internationally with great esteem on cardiology.

Very worthy cause. My son had his screening today and thankfully has no issues. We left a donation to help for future screening clinics but the Government really needs to step in and help as it's so a vital any defects get picked up before the athlete collapses.

Too many young people are dying from sudden cardiac death and more research needs to be done and more support for this essential charity. Our daughter died aged only 22 in March this year and there is no explanation for why she died. Future deaths like this should be prevented and avoided.

As a paramedic it is vital we reduce the risk of this happening. It is devastating to see and for families to deal with.

This should be offered to every young person.
