Success of Cardiac Screening in Carrbridge and Fundraising in Memory of Calum Mackintosh

Lodged by Emma Roddick (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 24 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the recent cardiac screening event held in Carrbridge by Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY), at which 202 young people were screened and approximately 10 referred for further tests, highlighting the importance of preventative screening; notes that the event was made possible through local fundraising led by Ann and Iain Mackintosh, following the death of their son, Calum, from sudden cardiac arrest in November 2023 at the age of 19; further notes that Calum had planned to run the 2024 Edinburgh Marathon with his friend Eoin, who completed the marathon in his memory and raised funds for CRY; acknowledges that on the same weekend, Ann and Iain, together with several of Calum’s friends, took part in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival Team Relay to raise funds for two additional CRY screening days planned in Carrbridge in 2026, and commends the continued community effort to support access to cardiac screening for young people in the Highlands.
