Beat SCAD’s walk will be held in Leicestershire on Saturday 15 June 2024 . It’s a great opportunity for spontaneous coronary artery dissection patients, families and friends to meet, network and support each other, as well as to raise money to help Beat SCAD continue our work.

After the walk, Dr David Adlam, who is leading the UK research, will discuss some updates and there will be time for questions.

TICKETS FOR DR ADLAM'S TALK ARE SOLD OUT. If you would like to be put on a waiting list, please contact us with your name and the number of tickets you'd like. We will contact you if any become available.

If you would just like to attend the walk there is no charge.
