Story

I had my SCAD in August 2019, 3 days after completing my 2nd RideLondon 100, which was a massive shock to say the least! With the support of Beat SCAD and all of the SCAD patients on our Survivors Facebook group I have been lucky enough to make a good recovery and get well and fit enough to get back in the Saddle and take on my ultimate goal and complete my 3rd RideLondon 100 this time raising funds for Beat SCAD, an amazing charity that does so much to raise awareness and carry out research but most importantly to me, support us survivors when we are at a moment in our lives that we could never have foreseen, thank you all!

SCAD is a serious heart condition which is striking healthy women and men... people who you probably wouldn't think would be at risk of having a heart attack. When SCAD strikes, it is life-changing for the patient and their loved ones. SCAD can be fatal. It is critical that we find out what causes SCAD.

SCAD survivors are supported by an incredible team of researchers in Leicester at the Glenfield Hospital & NIHR Biomedical Research Centre, led by Dr David Adlam (https://scad.lcbru.le.ac.uk/).

Beat SCAD are working to raise £25,000 to support a new Clinical Research Fellow to work alongside Dr Adlam.

Beat SCAD is a patient-led charity that launched in 2015 to raise awareness of SCAD, support SCAD patients and their families, and raise funds for research to find answers about this condition.

Thank you for your support!
