Heart screening session this weekend

by isleofman.com 14th March 2008
Young people, especially those who play lots of sport, are being encouraged to sign-up for a potentially life-saving health screening session this weekend.

Craig's Heartstrong Foundation is offering free ECG scans for heart defects, to anybody between the ages of 14 and 35.

The charity was set up in memory of Craig Lunt, a promising young footballer who died from an undiagnosed heart problem in 2005.

The screening sessions at the Hilton Hotel will be carried out by a team of specialists from the charity CRY - Cardiac Risk in the Young - who are coming to the Island from the United Kingdom.

The Foundation's Chris Feeney was screened last year (audio file attached):
