This is Taylor. He hasn't been able to watch England play in the Euros. That dream was snatched away when he died at the age of 14 from a sudden cardiac arrest. Taylor dreamed of playing football professionally one day and was a loyal Newcastle FC fan and season ticket holder from a very young age. Elaine, Taylor’s Mum, said “He’d always loved his football and had been kicking a ball around since he could walk.” Taylor died overnight at home in his bedroom. His younger sister, Megan, who was just four at the time, discovered him the following morning. Initially, the cause of Taylor’s death was unexplained; however, it was later discovered that there was a problem with how his left coronary artery had developed and grown. Each week, 12 young people are lost to sudden cardiac death in the UK. We’re funding lifesaving research to help stop this tragic reality. #Euros2024
This is extremely sad and just not right! Let’s do all we can to spread the word to eliminate or reduce the risk of sudden cardiac arrest. First steps .. awareness and CPR. Well done #BHF for all your hard work. Let’s not let Taylor just be a statistic! Children are meant to be our future! Elaine, I’m so sorry for your sad loss♥️💔
