Three sisters in their early 20s were among more than 200 young people who were invited for free cardiac checks in Scunthorpe, after their 17-year-old cousin died from an undiagnosed heart condition.
Fionnuala, 24, Molly, 23 and Eve, 22, were prompted to seek screening after student Mary Stanway tragically died at the age of 17, early last year. Fortunately, the sisters were cleared at the screenings, held at Hope House, Scunthorpe.
Fionnuala said: “We feel so grateful to have been able to have these checks. Our cousin was 17 when she died unexpectedly – she fell asleep on the sofa one evening and passed away.
