Ali's story

Ali is a Heart Research UK supporter, raising vital awareness of heart diseases by sharing his brother's story.

My younger brother, Graham, died unexpectedly and suddenly at age 26 due to an unknown heart condition. To this day, we still don’t clearly know what caused his death, other than the fact that his heart just stopped working.
