Craig's Heartstrong Foundation's latest
fundraising initiative will take the form of an evening with England
goalkeeping legend Peter Shilton at the Hilton Hotel and Casino.
The event, which is sponsored by Edward Bryan
Removals, will take place on March 10.
It is hoped the night will raise further funds to
enable the hire of equipment and enable the screening of symptoms of
hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy. This will help prevent the
Sudden Adult Death Syndrome that young Manx footballer Craig Lunt died of.
The charity is currently in the process of working
with representatives from CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) in order to be
able to bring the necessary equipment from the mainland UK to the Island in
order to initially test young sports men and women here.
During the evening there will be a raffle and
customary auction of top sporting items including signed Man United,
Liverpool and England pieces. The event will be compared by 'The voice
of Manx Sport' Tim Glover.
Tables of 10 cost £750 and this includes a private
champagne reception and raffle with Peter Shilton. Tickets are limited
so to book a place simply call 460918 or 401835 for what will be a fantastic
night.
