Workington Town have partnered with Tri Lakeland to provide heart screening for the triathlon club’s members.
Town invested in heart screening equipment and expert personnel to administer the test to players and staff as an RFL requirement to screen players on a yearly basis.
The arrangement to use the screening service for the triathlon club is one of a number of initiatives set up by Margaret Heyes to promote blood pressure awareness and heart health, following the death of her husband Jeff earlier this year.
Jeff was an integral member of Tri Lakeland and triathlon club members have keenly taken up this service in large numbers with over 45 people being screened over three days.
Keen Town fan Helen McDowell and a qualified team have been administering the tests on behalf of the rugby club.
The Heyes family said they would like to thank everyone from Workington Town and Tri Lakeland for organising the heart screening, as without their support and commitment this would not have been possible.
