CRY SCREENING DATE 23rd October 2021

Every week in the UK at least 12 assumingly fit and healthy young people die of undiagnosed heart conditions…  CRY is a national charity saving young lives and supporting those affected.  The charity aims to reduce the frequency of young, sudden cardiac death by working with cardiologists and family doctors to establish good practice and appropriate screening facilities to help protect and promote the cardiac health in our young.  Harry Faulkner and Alex Hubbard were both Raiders players who lost their lives early to an undiagnosed heart condition. At the last Raiders screening, four individuals were identified needing additional investigations.  This is why Raiders are so passionate about supporting and promoting CRY.

PLEASE NOTE: The screening day is only available for children aged 14 or over as for children younger than this, their hearts are not yet fully developed enough for the equipment to work accurately
