Family want to use their grief to save lives
The death of Pardeep Nagra came as a complete surprise to his loved ones. The 26-year-old, from Wolverhampton, played ice hockey, ran his own business, and was about to get married. He died of a sudden cardiac arrest in 2008, despite having no previous heart issues. His family have since become passionate campaigners, organising screenings for other young people to get checked out. Pardeep's brother Kulbir, who has been nominated for a Pride of Britain award, has been raising money through a memorial fund with the Cardiac Risk in the Young (Cry) charity. In memory of his brother, he has helped raise more than £70,000 to test more than 1,200 young people. "We're trying to turn a negative into a superpower and do something for the community," he told BBC Radio WM. The next screening event is being held at the Grand Palace in Wolverhampton on Sunday. The event is already fully booked, with some 100,000 people now on a waiting list, partially thanks to the Nagra family's campaigning. Kulbir said the family wanted to "keep going", recalling a moment they helped a young person identify they were at risk. "It was quite shocking because there was a child coming out of the room in tears in hysterics," he said. "I had a five minute conversation with him and it showed we were making a difference." The family are particularly keen to work with sports clubs and schools, as they want all children and young adults to get screened. They hope to go back to Pardeep's old school in the summer, adding the simple test could benefit other families and "save them from heartbreak".
