Generous staff who worked at the Land Warfare Centre at Imber Road, Warminster, have helped raise more than £1,000 for charity. 

Staff from Defence Estates, Army Training Estates and Landmarc Support Services raised money for the Julian Wort Memorial Fund set up by charity CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young). 

Julian Wort of Frome died, aged 28, of Sudden Death Syndrome, which is similar to cot death in babies.  Since then his family has been raising money for CRY.  Bob Morris, who works for Defence Estates, went to school with Julian, which is where the link to the charity was established. 

Mother Shirley Wort and her family and friends have already provided Frome Medical Practice with an ECG Machine and Frome’s Victoria Hospital with a defibrillator.  They have raised £6,000 since March last year. 

Landmarc donated £1,000 and a further £300 was raised at coffee mornings during last year.  The cheque was presented to Mrs Wort by representatives from the three companies and the Land Warfare Centre.
