Charity ball in aid of CRY in memory of Maddy Campbell

The Campbell family are hosting a charity ball to raise money in memory of Maddy Campbell who passed away due to a heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

The event is being staged at Marks Tey Hotel, and is being held to help raise money so the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young can hold a heart screening day in Colchester.

A total of £5,000 needs to be raised for a heart screening day which will see about 100 teenagers tested for heart conditions.

Kelly added: “If we can prevent this happening to another family and raise money for heart screening days then it will just feel like something maybe a bit more positive has come out of her death.”
