The family of a teenager who died after suffering an undetected heart defect have hosted a bowling event in the borough in her memory.
Alex Reid, from Sheffield, was aged 16 when she died in her sleep from the defect.
Her family became involved in raising awareness through charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) soon afterwards.
The organisation aims to prevent young sudden cardiac deaths through awareness, screening, research and supporting affected families.
They also set up a dedicated fund in her name.
Alex’s uncle Roger Sharp, from Bury, is a member of Ainsworth Bowling Club and had arranged the bowling day to help educate people on the issue.
Alex’s mum Heather Reid said: “The weather forecast was terrible, but the sun came out for us. It always shines whenever we do events for Alex.
“It was a great way to raise awareness about sudden cardiac death and CRY.
