Today our Year 11 students were delighted to hand over a cheque for £458.00 to Paul Healy and Matthew Palmer from Craig's Heartstrong Foundation. This is always a popular charity with our students as they provide such an important service. The focus of Craig’s Heartstrong Foundation is to raise the necessary funding to enable heart screening of young people, men and women between the ages of 14 and 35 in the Isle of Man in order to detect any possible symptoms of Hypertrophic and Dilated Cardiomyopathy and thus help prevent Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS). By providing this vital screening service, they are then able to monitor and provide support to treat accordingly, any of these detectable heart defects to provide a healthy future for the island.
There are appointments available for the current screening sessions on their website. Craig's Heartstrong Foundation
Earlier in the year, our Senior Prefect Team were pleased to raise £125.00 from the sale of water bottles in aid of the charity.
Many thanks to all the students who have contributed to both fundraising activities.
