A dad helped a schoolboy spot a potential problem with his heart after a vital check at school.
The Oliver King Foundation, run by Mark King and his wife and Joanne, has been working with thousands of schools, gyms, leisure centres and organisations over the last 10 years following the death of their 12-year-old son. Oliver was in a school swimming race when he died of Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS), a hidden heart condition that kills more than 19 young people every week.
Ever since his death, the family have been campaigning for legislation to change, raising awareness of SADS in communities and delivering more than 6,000 life-saving defibrillators to organisations across the country.
