Jamie Carragher has helped raise awareness for heart disease after lending his support to an ECG testing pilot event at a local school in Bootle.
Taking place on ‘National Wear Red Day’, the Liverpool legend made an appearance at St. Robert Bellarmine Catholic Primary School to help promote the event put on by his 23 Foundation, The Oliver King Foundation and Pall Mall Medical as they look to offer ECG testing to children in schools.
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple test that can be used to check your heart's rhythm and electrical activity, with 28 10-year-old students signing up to be tested at St. Robert Bellarmine Catholic Primary School.
