The Daniel Project
The Daniel Project honors Daniel Naim Ajlouny, a Birmingham native. Although he was an avid outdoorsman and athlete, Daniel’s genetic heart condition led to his untimely death at the age of 21.
Daniel’s parents, Pamela and Basim Ajlouny, started the project to prevent sudden and untimely death from the heart condition hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (or HCM) is a genetic condition in which the muscle of the heart is abnormally large, with no apparent cause. Significantly, HCM is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young athletes.
Firstly, The Daniel Project aims to bring community awareness to the condition. Secondly, they help fund screenings for individuals with HCM symptoms.
