Tracy Hamilton is abseiling off the Forth Road Bridge to raise money for Chest, Heart and Stroke in memory of her father who passed away from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. She hopes to raise £1500 and raise awareness of the charity and the condition.

Tracy Hamilton, whose father John passed away aged 67 last year, is hoping to raise £1500 for Chest, Heart and Stroke

She said:"I have previously abseiled in 2017 for the same charity. The point is to raise money after my dad passed away last October. "My sister and I had to be scanned for the condition to see if we inherited it but thankfully none of us have the gene. "It is unbelievable the number of different things that can be wrong with your heart," she continued.
