Fond memories of a friend who died from cystic fibrosis sparked off a fundraising effort which collected £854. The death of Marjorie McStravock, formerly of Preston, days before her 20th birthday, prompted Wendy Smith to organise a sponsored swim to raise money for research into the disease. Majorie's family, who helped raise money for the appeal, attended the presentation of a TV and the cheque to the nurses on the ward Photo: RETRO
