RTE sports broadcaster and CRY ambassador Jacqui Hurley sadly lost her brother Sean to the condition when he was just 25 and has guven her backing to the new service. She said "After losing my brother Sean, I know how much it means to have a listening ear and a team of support around you. "I would encourage anyone who might be coping with the loss of someone to sudden cardiac death or inherited cardiac condition, to give CRY a call. They truly understand what you are going through." CRY Ireland creates awareness of SCD and other inherited cardiac conditions. The charity supports those who have been affected by these illnesses through the free access to cardiac assessments, bereavement counselling and family support programmes. Lucia Ebbs, CEO of CRY said: "Many of us here at CRY, including our team of trained helpline volunteers have experienced the loss of a loved one to sudden cardiac death and we truly understand the significance of having a listening ear and team of support around you, when coping with this loss. "Grief has no limits and it shouldn’t be dealt with alone. If you need someone to talk to, please don’t hesitate to the CRY Helpline from any of the 32 counties across Ireland." The new service is available between the hours of 7-9pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10am to 12 noon on Wednesdays and 4-6pm on Sundays.
