Family who have already funded two heart screening events, hope to raise more in memory of Maddy Campbell.

HUNDREDS of teenagers will be tested for heart conditions thanks to ยฃ22,000 raised in the name of a 17-year-old girl who died suddenly in her sleep.

Maddy Campbellโ€™s family were left heartbroken after the teenagerโ€™s sudden death when she did not wake up on the morning of September 14, 2021.

Examinations carried out following her death revealed she had a condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which caused her heart to fail.

Since her death, her family have pushed to raise funds for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY), hoping to allow the charity to hold heart screening days at schools across the area.

On the remarkable support shown in Maddyโ€™s name, Kelly added: โ€œSheโ€™d be so shocked. She was quite modest, she would never believe sheโ€™d have as much of an impact as she has had.

โ€œShe was well-liked, it has been lovely hearing stories about her from all sorts of people, stories I probably wouldnโ€™t have otherwise heard.โ€
