OUR HEART HEROES

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for Our Heart Heroes. Your donations will support SADS screening and screening for other dangerous, genetic heart conditions. This page was set up to support that vital work in memory of Kevin Hayes. On 21st June 2017 Kevin Hayes, a happy and healthy 26 year old, went to bed and tragically passed away overnight. Like so many other young and apparently healthy people, his death was attributed to SADS.

SADS stands for Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome, more commonly known as Sudden Adult Death Syndrome.

By supporting this fundraiser, you will be supporting life-saving screening for genetic conditions that cause SADS at the Mater Hospital’s Family Heart Screening Clinic.

About Our Heart Heroes in the Mater Hospital Family Heart Screening Clinic:
The Mater Hospital’s Family Heart Screening Clinic provides life-saving screening to families and young people at risk of SADS and other genetic heart conditions. The goal of everyone working there is to identify life-threatening, hidden heart conditions that put young people and families at risk of dying suddenly.

The Mater Hospital’s Family Heart Screening Clinic receives limited Government funding for this service and needs fundraisers like this one and people like you to help provide life-saving screening.

Your support is hugely appreciated and all donations are welcome!
