My beautiful wife, Joanne, suffered this condition and has since been back to full-time work, being a mum to our two children and been running to raise money for charity. We are extremely fortunate to have her in our lives and I’m now running to raise funds/awareness for the incredible people @BeatSCAD.

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!
