Sincere thanks to everyone at St Mary's Church for allowing us to use their wonderful church for a second year running
On Saturday 14th March we held our 35th heart screening day, this time at St Mary’s Church in Upton, Wirral. We really must thank Jez Lamb, Brian Shenton, Tom Marsland, Sophie Hedgecoe and absolutely everyone at Upton Cricket Club for their continued outstanding fundraising efforts. This is the third screening they have funded and they should be extremely proud of themselves for the difference they have made to the lives of their local community. We would also like to say a huge thank you to everyone associated with St Mary’s Church for allowing us to use the church for a second time to screen people. We really cannot thank them enough.
We screened 79 people on the day. An awful lot of people went away with smiles on their faces, relieved having had their heart checked and been told all was well. Two people were referred back to their GP as they required further tests. Thank you to anyone who contacted us to advise they couldn’t make their appointment – we were able to screen other people in their places.
Thank you to everyone who generously made a donation on the day – £65 was raised. Other people were also asking if they could donate on our Justgiving page as well so many thanks to them!
We would also like to say thank you to our fantastic clinical team – what an outstanding service they delivered on the day! Special thanks to Prof. Khaled Albouaini, our cardiology consultant, Jane our echo sonographer as well as Abbie and Jade, our ECG technicians, Lol and Trish , who took everyone’s blood pressure and gave everyone some basic CPR and defibrillator training – they all did an amazing job and we cannot thank them enough.
