For most people, raising £1,000 at a Christmas Fair would be achievement enough.
But for two local families it is just a fraction of the money raised since they started their fund-raising over four years ago.
Irene Wickers, from Darwen, and Granville Staff, from Hoddlesdon, set up the Neil Wickers and David Staff memorial fund as a tribute to their Sons who both died from undetected heart conditions.
Their latest fund-raising event in Darwen earlier this month has brought their total raised to a staggering £29.000.
The two families devote their time to raising cash for the memorial fund, which supports the charity CRY, Cardiac Risk in the Young. They organise screening events in the area in the hope that they can save other young people.
