I congratulate all concerned in having reached the £7,500 target for the Jamie's Have a Heart Appeal in such a short time.

This is a truly magnificent effort and a very fitting tribute to Jamie Bucknell. I hope that in some small way this appeal has helped Jamie's family and friends over this very sad time.

I can assure all your readers that the heart monitors will be put to very good use.
