Supporters gave generous support to a fundraiser.
The evening, in memory of tragic youngster Cameron Strathie, raised ยฃ3,266 for CRY, the Cardiac Risk in the Young charity which supports research into heart defects.
Cameron died in his father’s arms a year ago.ย Doctors later found the six-year-old of Naismith Court, Grangemouth, had Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy which caused the heart attack that killed him.
Grieving parents Deborah and John later discovered it is a condition their some was probably borne with and one that kills eight young children a week in the UK.
Mrs Strathie thanked everyone who helped, particularly main sponsors Airth Castle, who donatedย six months family membership to the Cloud Nine Spa and dinner, bed and breakfast for one lucky couple, and Scottish Gas for donating five kitchen appliances as prizes.
She said: “We raised a magnificent sum, but most importantly raised awareness about the heart defect that killed our son.ย One of CRY’s aims is to change medical practices so that our kids are screened.ย It could save thousands of lives.”
