about SADS and CRY - apparently they have doubled in size-that means twice as many people as last year helping spread the news how important it is to get your children screened-but the government has not appreciated the desperate need for this to be done on every child, in every school-if we can save one child's life, save one family the devestation of losing a child, then a job is done-please support this good cause-and help us beat death in the young-just by spreading the word of what this actually means is a help-then perhaps the Government will fund this screening-until then we have to raise both money and awareness to this soul destroying killer.

Sorry-Cardiac Risk in the Young. Once they reach adult hood it is SADS Sudden Adult Death Sydrome and after 35-unexpalined death-which is shocking-Stephens was unascertained pointing to SADS-which tells me nothing-50-50 chance his siblings have it-like a death sentence-and waiting for the tests is a pateint thing-almost 11 months and all we have had is an ECG-waiting heart scans-and what ever follows. Stephen (MY SON) was 34.
