Fundraising mum provides new heart monitor for hospital
A mum whose fiancรฉ died suddenly while playing in a football match has helped to fund a piece of equipment she hopes will prevent such a tragedy happening again.
Kay Linnington, 28, has donated the heart monitor to the Horton Hospital in Banbury.
She has raised more than ยฃ7,000 since her partner Ian Willoughby died of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome playing for Hook Norton in 2000.
The device, a cardiac event recorder, is attached to the patient over 24 hours to check heart irregularities and can help detect the condition before it becomes serious.
