Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY)

Every week in the UK at least 12 assumingly fit and healthy young people die of undiagnosed heart conditions. Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) is a national charity saving young lives and supporting those affected.

Two former Raiders players have died due to undiagnosed cardiac problems; one at 18 years old, and the other at 21 years old. That is why Raiders are passionate about supporting and promoting CRY.

All players connected to Raiders from the age of 14-35 years have the opportunity to undergo cardiac screening, funded by the Club. We also offer CRY screening to teenagers at our local schools.   The screening will now take place Ashlyn’s School, Chesham Road, Berkhamsted, HP4 3AH on Saturday 2nd March 2024.

Note, that Berkhamsted Raiders are funding this screen but would ask that you make a donation towards your screening via the link below. (The cost per screening is £60)
