Behind every statistic is a child, a family, a community. . . a tragedy

UK policy advisors only considered UK data from a national audit which suggested there is less than 1 death a week in the UK. They ignored CRY data and research which shows a much higher figure. This is an incredible insult to affected families; nearly half of the 600 families who experienced a young sudden cardiac death in 2014 (over 250 families) were supported by CRY. However, we believe if the government and policy advisors are confronted with the names of the young people who have died, not just a number, then they can no longer disregard our evidence.
