Just to keep you up to date...

A lot has been happening over the last few months! The Trust has been officially appointed International Affiliate to the Sads Foundation, Utah. We are also delighted that Kanu Nwankwo, Arsenal striker, has volunteered to be a patron of the Trust. We feel extremely honoured and privileged that he has given the Trust his support. Kanu 'bounced back' to health after having heart surgery. He was so pleased that he was able to recover and continue his career in football that he started his own Heart Foundation. Like us he feels that it is important to get these heart conditions diagnosed early.

We are awaiting confirmation of special charity entries for the 2002 London Marathon. We would be pleased to hear from anybody who feels they could take on this challenge and raise sponsorship for the Sads Trust.

Many thanks to Lin Gosling for offering to donate profit from the wonderful poems she has written and will publish in honour of her son Tom.

The Trust will soon have available new literature to help raise awareness about Long QT Syndrome and Sads.

Update (20/03/01)
