Inner Wheel Club President Elaine Ward (pictured) is the 29th President of the Inner Wheel Club of Dronfield (July 2012 – July 2013) and her chosen charity for the year is Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) – a cause dear to her own heart as her son Neil died suddenly aged 17 in 1992. Neil was fit and active and apparently in good health and was the first Chairman of Dronfield Venture Scouts. He was in the Sixth Form at Henry Fanshawe School hoping to go to University. There is a room at the Scout Headquarters in Wreakes Lane named after him as this was where he collapsed and died. Elaine is raising money for CRY which funds medical research, promotes screening programmes and offers support services to bereaved families. She hopes to raise enough money to screen 100 young people in Dronfield in 2014. To raise money Elaine has a number of events planned: a folk and country evening and a patchwork quilt draw.
