The family and friends of a Worthing College student who died from a heart condition have raised almost £35,000 in his memory.

The money was raised for the British Heart Foundation in memory of Daniel Hoare from Felpham, who died suddenly from the inherited heart condition hypertrophic cardiomyopathy while running to catch a train at West Worthing station in November 2011. The condition causes the heart wall to become thickened, making it harder for the heart to pump blood around the body.
