Centre staff raise memorial cash

Generous staff who worked at the Land Warfare Centre at Imber Road, Warminster, have helped raise more than ยฃ1,000 for charity. Staff from Defence Estates, Army Training Estates and Landmarc Support Services raised money for the Julian Wort Memorial Fund set up by charity CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young). Julian Wort of Frome died, aged 28, of Sudden Death Syndrome, which is similar to cot death in babies. Since then his family has been raising money for CRY. Bob Morris, who works for Defence Estates, went to school with Julian, which is where the linkCentre staff raise memorial cash (Wort) (pic) to the charity was established. Mother Shirley Wort and her family and friends have already provided Frome Medical Practice with an ECG Machine and Fromeโ€™s Victoria Hospital with a defibrillator. They have raised ยฃ6,000 since March last year. Landmarc donated ยฃ1,000 and a further ยฃ300 was raised at coffee mornings during last year. The cheque was presented to Mrs Wort by representatives from the three companies and the Land Warfare Centre.
