Fundraising for heart screening in Catterall has received a boost from the ‘Love From Anwyl’ fund.
The Matthew Hesmondhalgh Memorial Fund at Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) successfully applied for support from Anwyl Homes via the ‘Love From Anwyl’ initiative linked to new homes being built at Cross Fields in Catterall.
Paula Hesmondhalgh said: “Since losing our son Matthew to a cardiac arrest in 2011 we have been fundraising to provide local heart screening events at Garstang Community Academy for 14–35-year-olds.
“Each year we put on a variety of fundraisers to enable us to raise the £13,600 we need to fund a two-day event to test 200 young people. To date we have funded the screening of over 2,400 young people.
