Extend cardiac screening beyond Aberdeenshire.


The Cause: 

This Memorial Fund is in memory of our precious son, brother, nephew, grandson and friend Jude MacDonald from Westhill, Aberdeenshire (family from Isle of Lewis, a place Jude loved). On Sunday, 01 January 2023, our beautiful , precious 16-year-old boy died suddenly, changing our lives forever. Jude tragically suffered a cardiac arrest. He passed away from a very rare heart condition. Our aim is to support Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) by carrying out cardiac screenings in the Westhill area and beyond.

Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY), is a charity dedicated to reducing the frequency of young sudden cardiac deaths. Every week in the UK, at least 12 young people die suddenly from undiagnosed heart conditions. Many of these deaths could be prevented. CRY works to reduce this number and offers support to those who are affected by young sudden cardiac death. 1 in 100 young individuals have a cardiac condition which will require monitoring and could cause problems if left undiagnosed until later in life. CRY aims to prevent deaths through awareness, screening, research and supporting affected families. 

However, we are faced with the reality of costs. To screen 100 young people, the cost would be £6,800.00. We aim to screen as many 14-35 year olds as we can. Your support will help us detect potential cardiac risks in our young people early, potentially saving lives. For further information about CRY's work please visit c-r-y.org.uk.

In memory of Jude, his friends from Westhill, Aberdeenshire  have organised a football match against Cove 2006 on Sunday, 04 August 2024 at 1pm at the Westdyke Playing Fields to raise funds for CRY.   There will be a barbecue, chocolate  and bottle tombola and a bake sale.  Everyone is warmly invited to come along to support this event. 

In the blink of an eye, life changed for us. If just one life can be saved from arranging cardiac screenings, we will be thankful. No family should suffer the pain and heartache we are going through each day. Life will never be the same without our precious Jude. Together, we can make a difference.
