A screening event is being held for young people in Orkney, in an effort to detect heart conditions before they become fatal.
The fundraising efforts of the family and friends of Freya Rose Dalrymple have seen 1,009 young people checked over in the county.
Freya tragically passed away at the age of 17 on Christmas Eve, 2014, from Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS).
Next month, her family are holding their sixth heart screening event, where they hope to have around 200 folk checked by the team from Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY).
“Unfortunately, as with everything else, the costs for screening are rising, with next year’s event costing £14,400,” said Freya’s mum, Ingrid Dalrymple.
The screening event this year is funded from money raised through Freya’s Memorial Fund and Alan Bain’s Memorial Fund at CRY.
To help raise money for future screening events in Orkney, Freya’s family are holding a fourth “Walk for Freya” on Sunday, July 12, starting at 11.30am from Kirkwall Grammar School carpark.
“We want to try to prevent any other families going through the devastation of losing a young person and protect the young people in Orkney.”
