Hove man's heart attack at 26 The Argus,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Every week at least eight apparently fit and healthy young people die from an undetected heart condition. Health reporter Siobhan Ryan speaks to one victim lucky enough to have survived.
Joseph Tanner learned about his heart condition in dramatic fashion.
"I remember queuing up at the start of the marathon but I remember absolutely nothing else. Apparently I finished it in an hour and 49 minutes but I cannot remember any of it.
"I was in intensive care for two days and then told I had had a cardiac arrest at the finish line. My heart had stopped for seven minutes and I then had another attack in the ambulance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"It's scary to think that this could have happened any time on all those runs. I took everything in my stride, which seemed to surprise a few people. I looked at it that I was lucky to still be
here so my attitude was 'do what you have to do',[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"After I was released from hospital I was told to take it easy but that day I was out walking along the beach,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"A week and half later I was back at work,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I wasn't allowed to do any lifting or climb ladders - among many other things - for about six weeks.
"Life is pretty much back to normal for me now and sometimes I even forget that I have the defibrillator.
"I was shocked when I heard my diagnosis as there has been no history of any problems in my family.
"I cannot scuba dive any more and I can't become a community police officer either because of my condition.
"However I've been speaking to my doctors and there is a good chance that I might be able to take up running again at some time.
"I will listen to my doctors - I'm not going to put myself at risk,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. I haven't run since that day but my running shoes are at the ready,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]."
Joseph, who works at the White Stuff clothes store in Brighton,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is now determined to do what he can to raise awareness of the potential problems people can face.
He said: "My family have all been tested and they are clear but there could be a lot of other people walking around who don't know they have a problem.
"The fact is,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there are many similar types of heart disease which have no symptoms and go undetected.
"The only time people know there is a problem is when they collapse like I did or even die. You won't get screened unless there is a specific request."
The charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (Cry),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which is running an awareness week from this Friday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is campaigning to have screening centres set up around the country so people up up to the age of 35
can be checked out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Joseph is backing the campaign by holding a sponsored leg wax on October 18 and a sponsored Dolly Parton Tribute Night at the Latest Music Bar in Brighton, formerly Joogleberry, on October 21.
Tickets cost £7,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
