Preston family to help launch campaign over heart death

The mum of a 21 year old man from Woodplumpton near Preston - who collapsed in a nightlcub, then died, is helping launch a major campaign about a conditon called sudden cardiac death - which kills 12 young people a week.

Andrew Parr collapsed in Tokyo Joes five years ago - a post mortem showed he'd actually had a heart attack three weeks previously - but it had been undiagnosed

Since his death, his mum's set up a fund so more people get their hearts screened.

She's also at the launch of the CRY campaign - that's Cardiac Risk in the Young, where a postcard with a picture of Andrew - and 11 other youngsters from the northwest - who've died suddenly - will be unveiled.
