SUDDEN ARRHYTHMIC DEATH SYNDROME: Toby's story

Toby was just 22, at the peak of his life and hoping for a career in the Royal Marines when his life was cut suddenly and cruelly short.

In this episode, Ruth Huntman from the BHF talks to Toby’s mum Sam about confronting every mother’s worst nightmare, her fight to find some answers and how her commitment to raising awareness of Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS) is Toby’s legacy.
