Anita walked in to find her daughter unconscious in the bath just moments after saying goodnight at their home in Llandaff, Cardiff. Her charity worker mum had said goodnight and gone to bed, but was woken by her dog whining at the end of the bed. Sudden death syndrome (SDS) is an umbrella term used for the many different causes of cardiac arrest in young people. The charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) screens more than 20,000 young people a year, for free. Her mum is now determined to carry on in Amber's memory and to raise awareness of cardiac risk in young people.
