Pals raise amazing £70,000 in memory of West Lothian man who died of cardiac arrest at just 37

A fundraising group set up in memory of a Livingston man who passed away after suffering cardiac arrest have hailed their ‘most successful’ event and racked up a massive new fundraising total.

The Paul Lynas Memorial Group raised £11,200 with a recent golf day and online auction which has taken the total amount raised to £70,000 in just four years – with £66,000 raised directly for the British Heart Foundation.

Paul sadly passed away aged 37 in 2017. The group was set up the following year to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation and they are now also set to donate two defibrillators to communities within West Lothian.
