Each year, on the anniversary of Joe Humphries' untimely death, we hold the annual SADS Awareness Week where we remind and educate healthcare professionals, sports-related professionals and parents and carers of young people about the dangers of undiagnosed heart conditions like SADS. Year on year, we build on the awareness we raise of these undiagnosed heart conditions This year the JHMT medical team are providing three free lectures in conjunction with Leicester's hospitals. Included in the different audiences are the public, doctors at the University Hospitals of Leicester, and staff and students at Loughborough University. We will also offer a short session at the public events, for anyone who wants to learn how to do CPR - it only takes 2 minutes to learn!

The work goes on to ensure as many people as is possible learn more about these deadly heart conditions, which can strike seemingly fit and healthy young people without any warning. That's why I'm proud to back the JHMT. We need to change the shocking statistics that see 12 young people die each week from these silent killers. The JHMT is committed to raising awareness of sudden heart deaths, and its latest hard-hitting poster campaign will certainly help to do this. But its work doesn't stop there. JHMT is also taking the message directly to young people and to grassroots sports clubs, ensuring that as many people as possible are trained in these vital lifesaving skills and have quick access to a defibrillator . This training and equipment can make the difference between life and death if someone collapses in a cardiac emergency. What could be more important than that?
