Pupils at a Leeds school flocked to a screening day arranged by the parents of a former pupil who died of any undiagnosed heart condition.

Antony and Halina Reid have spent well over a year fundraising and planning for the event, which saw more than 120 people, including pupils, have their hearts checked by a specialist at Garforth Academy yesterday. 

The couple's popular 19-year-old son Tom died after he collapsed at a London nightclub on September 28, 2009.  It was later determined that he had died from sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS), triggered by an undetected heart condition - which could have been picked up by a screening like those being given at Garforth yesterday. 

Speaking to the YEP, Antony said:  "After something like this happens to you, you can either do nothing or you can try and do something positive.  We want everyone to be 100 percent healthy and hope there are no problems, but if these screenings do pick up something and we can help even just one person, we'll have made a difference." 

The couple worked with charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) to make the event happen and raised more than £9,000.
