A fundraiser in memory of a schoolboy who died after collapsing while playing football has raised a whopping £21,000 in less than a day. Andrew MacKinnon, 15, tragically lost his life on Tuesday afternoon after a medical incident at Forrester High School in Broomhouse, Edinburgh.
Emergency services rushed to the school when Andrew became unwell shortly after 3pm but were unable to save the teenager. Andrew, a huge Hearts fan, was described as a “very talented and popular kid”, he was a promising young talent playing for Salvesen Blues 07s, reports Edinburgh Live.
Heartbroken friends, relatives and members of the community have rallied together to raise funds for the much-loved schoolboy's family, following his shock passing. The GoFundMe page, which said that Andrew died "doing what he loved" was started by family friend Megan Malone and raised more than £21,000 in under 24 hours.
