Our Story

On 1st June 2017, my wife – Carli Lansley – sadly passed away from Sudden Arrythmic Death Syndrome (SADS) at the age of just 36. We have two young children – Jessica (11) and Ethan (7).

It has naturally been a devastating time for the family but we are now trying to do something positive to make sure no other family should go through what we are going through.

Our aim is to raise sufficient funds to cover the cost of holding ECG screenings for young people (aged 14-35) in the Southend area. These screenings will enable 100 young people per day to receive a free ECG.

  • Providing free ECG screenings to young people (aged 14-35) to help detect undiagnosed heart conditions.
  • Over 2,400 young people have been checked and 120 have needed a further referral based on their ECG.
  • We have installed 20 defibrillators. 6 were solely funded by our charity. A further 14 defibrillators were installed in conjunction with 2 local rotary clubs (Leigh on Sea and Thorpe Bay) as part of SEADIP (South Essex Area Defibrillator Installation Project).
  • We host FREE CPR/defib sessions to local residents to give them the confidence to give CPR, and use a defibrillator correctly/safely.
