myheart member Kaitlin Lawrence and CRY supporter Hilary Nicholls joined the Little and Large podcast for a special episode about Cardiac Risk in the Young.
Hilary shares the heartbreaking story of the death of her 20-year-old daughter, Clarissa, from a sudden cardiac arrest. Kaitlin, whose life was saved after collapsing and receiving an ICD implant, shares her experience of diagnosis and recovery.
Together, they discuss the reality of hidden heart conditions in young people, the importance of cardiac screening, and why schools can play a vital role in helping prevent future tragedies.
This is an emotional but ultimately hopeful conversation about raising awareness, empowering families, and turning personal experiences into life-saving advocacy.
Please note: This episode includes discussions of bereavement and experiences of ICD shocks.
