Every week, seven Australians aged 1–35 lose their life to Sudden Cardiac Death.

Behind every statistic is a person — a family forever changed. These are some of their stories.

Alexandra was 23 years old when she passed in her sleep. She had no symptoms.​

Rhys was just 17 years old when he was found unresponsive in his bed. He was lost to Sudden Cardiac Death.​

Airlie passed from a genetic heart condition at just 18 months old. It was just years after her brother Sonny was lost to the same undiagnosed condition.​

Josh was a much-loved son and brother when he lost his life on Mother's Day in 2019 at just 26 years old.​

Tom was found unresponsive at home at just 24 years old.  Tom was fit, healthy and a bright future ahead - 8+ years on his family is still asking why.

Vanessa lost her life to a genetic heart condition at just 24 years old. Like many others, her family had never heard it before she was taken.

Shea's life was cut short when he was lost to Sudden Cardiac Death. He was training to become a psychiatrist and had a bright future ahead of him.
