BARNTON FC and 1874 Northwich are getting involved in raising awareness for heart issues in young people.
Players from both clubs are set to take part in a cardiac screening event run by the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young next month.
The event has been organised by Deborah Dixon, a prolific campaigner for CRY who has raised more than £250,000 with the Aaron James Dixon Memorial Fund.
Barnton FC chairman David Bryning said “It’s bringing everyone in the community together for such a wonderful cause.”
He highlighted the importance of young people taking the opportunity to get themselves screened, especially in light of many high-profile incidents of fans being taken ill at football stadiums over the course of the ongoing campaign.
Bryning added that the football club hopes to hold fundraiser events over the summer to raise money for CRY and give a ‘significant contribution’ back to them.
