Empowering through user generated content

Published on Apr 23, 2013 This is the story of 14-year-old Bobby Kupsch, a hero in the fight against heart disease.

User He had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy yes? As a 19yo living with left ventricular non compaction cardiomyopathy, I have an ICD implanted to save me from attacks. The only reason I was tested was due to fainting. There are already tests available to see if someone has a form of myopathy, but due to its rarity and little symptoms, it's hard to find. He looked like a beautiful boy with such a bright future. X

Heart Foundation Australia Hi - yes Bobby had a form of cardiomyopathy - Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy. Thanks for your support and sharing your story too - we're glad to hear of your treatment.

User A moving clip about a beautiful boy and his wonderfully strong parents - making something good out of heartbreak.

User How much it pains me to hear your voice Angel and not hold you, I hope your story touches the hearts of all Australians and we raise awareness and much needed funds to stop another family the pain of losing a loved one. Love you sweetheart x
