Shilton for heartstrong fundraiser

Craig's Heartstrong Foundation's latest fundraising initiative will take the form of an evening with England goalkeeping legend Peter Shilton at the Hilton Hotel and Casino.

The event, which is sponsored by Edward Bryan Removals, will take place on March 10.

It is hoped the night will raise further funds to enable the hire of equipment and enable the screening of symptoms of hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy. This will help prevent the Sudden Adult Death Syndrome that young Manx footballer Craig Lunt died of.

The charity is currently in the process of working with representatives from CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) in order to be able to bring the necessary equipment from the mainland UK to the Island in order to initially test young sports men and women here.

During the evening there will be a raffle and customary auction of top sporting items including signed Man United, Liverpool and England pieces. The event will be compared by 'The voice of Manx Sport' Tim Glover.

Tables of 10 cost £750 and this includes a private champagne reception and raffle with Peter Shilton. Tickets are limited so to book a place simply call 460918 or 401835 for what will be a fantastic night.
