Southport Rocks revives in a
new
venue with new format
SOUTHPORT Rocks is back and revived
with an all new format in conjunctions with Southport's Number One live music
venue, the Fox and Goose Sound Lounge, Cable Street, Southport.
Each weekend collection points will be available for all donations at the Fox
and Goose and in return you will get to listen to some amazing live bands!
Gaining commitment from such a great live music venue will help raise funds for
the Vital Signs Foundation (VSF.Org.UK)
so they can continue with their amazing Free Heart Screening Program.
Southport Rocks' (Formerly 'The Jedi Music Festival') was created following the
tragic and sudden death of Chris Haw.
Chris was an extremely popular local young man who was studying for a Management
Degree at Edge Hill University and he simply adored his live festival music.
Chris was a much loved son, brother, grandson
and friend to many people throughout his local community and across the North West. He
died, aged 25 from a Sudden Cardiac Arrest. Chris was a fit and healthy young
man who presented NO previous heart conditions whatsoever.
The VSF Charity was founded to create 3 important objectives:-
To raise awareness of Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
To deliver FREE heart screenings to young people aged 15 to 35 for undiagnosed
heart conditions in partnership with the Liverpool Heart & Chest Hospital (LHCH)
To promote health and wellbeing through healthy lifestyle choices.
Our goal is to deliver a successful Free heart screening program across the
North West of England to reduce the number of sudden young deaths in the UK from
undiagnosed heart conditions.
Steve Haw said:- "I am really excited to
be associated with the Fox and Goose and seeing Southport Rocks being revived
will help raise vital funds and also raise awareness of Sudden Cardiac Death in
young people. All the funds raised in this local community based partnership
with the "best live music venue in Southport" will raise awareness of our
charity and also help promote the life saving screenings we deliver across the
Northwest."
Ian Campbell (Fox and Goose) said:- "We are taking part in this with the
sole purpose of raising funds for the Vital Signs Foundation because we really
believe in their cause."
The charity provides vital free screenings for undetected heart conditions in
association with the Number One Heart Hospital in the UK. To support Southport
