In the past 4 years the great fundraising that everyone around the Island has been involved in for Craig's Heartstrong Foundation has led to four Isle of Man screening sessions, which have taken place at the Hilton Hotel. The screenings are fully funded by the charity and they are an opportunity for individuals ages 14 to 35 to get themselves screened for any detectable heart defects.

Please keep visiting the website for future announcements of screening weekends.

If you are still considering whether to do this then please bear in mind the story of Daniel Oram.  He is local boy who excelled at football for his club Ramsey AFC.  He came to the first screening last year and was diagnosed with a previously undetected hole in his heart.  He has since had surgery to correct this and he has been told he has made a full recovery.  If he had not attended the screening last year this may have remained undetected and the consequences of this do not bear thinking about.  If you have any questions regarding this then please email craigsheartstrong@manx.net
