Johnno backs trust's awareness day

Former Tigers and England rugby player Martin Johnson joined hundreds of people at an event to raise awareness of a potentially fatal medical condition.

The Joe Humphries Memorial Trust held an open day at Rothley church to raise money and make people aware of sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS).

Former cardiac nurse Alan Harrison-White, who is the charity's community liaison officer, said: "The main thing was raising awareness of sudden arrhythmic death syndrome".

Air Cadets from 2229 (Loughborough) Squadron helped out at the event by providing CPR demos to the hundreds of people that attended the event.
