EIGHT places are still available for sporty young people who want their heart screening in Darwen.

The families of two men who died suddenly from heart-related problems are to hold their annual Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) screening event for people aged 13 to 35 on May 5.

The two men, Neil Wickers, 32, from Darwen, and David Staff, 17, from Hoddlesden, would both have benefited from such a screening.

To book an appointment, telephone Irene Wickers on 01254 707895.
