A host of stars will lend a hand at a heart
screening session in Preston. A mobile CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young)
unit which is used to check young people for heart conditions will be at
Morrisons, in Marineers Way, on Saturday May 30 and May 31. Goalkeeper
Andrew Lonergan is due to make an appearance, along with former Coronation
Street actor Scott Wright.
It is hoped more than 200 young people between the
ages of 14 and 35 will be screened over the two days. The screening
will be free as a result of funds raised during the mayoral year of
Councillor Christine Abram.
In October, a screening session took placed in
memory of Stevie Wiggins, a former Preston Grasshoppers rugby player, who
died at the age of 30, during a stint working in America.
His family and friends raised £10,000 to fund a
screening session for more than 100 young people.
