FAIRMOUNT Madison-Grant High School students are reaching out to help the family of Courtney Sizelove, who died in August, just before the start of her senior year.

Courtney, who was a member of the Class of 2009, died from a hereditary heart arrhythmia problem called Q-T syndrome.

Is it the high school 's student council who is working to raise money for the family.

We are going to have a Valentine 's semi-formal for our students on Feb. 13, said teacher Michelle Harrold, who is the student council sponsor. The money that we raise will go to the Sizelove family to help pay for surgeries and Courtney 's headstone.

Student council members approached her during the school year about raising money for the family. Several different ideas are planned.

The student council will also be selling heart donations. These will be paper hearts that people can buy and write personal messages to the family. The hearts will come in different sizes depending on the amount of the donation.

The hearts go along with the Valentine 's theme. We are going to put them up on the walls around the school, and give them to the family after, Harrold said.

The student council members also wanted to remember Courtney with something that can be appreciated every day, so they came up with the idea to sell shirts and memory bracelets.

The shirts will have her initials on them along with a website where people can learn more about Q-T syndrome.

The memory bracelets will be rubber with the words Remembering Courtney Always. They will also have a wooden cross and Maltese cross to honor her strong religious beliefs and her job as a member of the Summitville Fire Department.

We 'll sell them here at the school, and we 'll send order forms out into the community, Harrold said.

Student council members will also be selling them at home sporting events.

Renee Sizelove, Courtney 's mother, is very thankful for the efforts of everyone involved. Both she and her son, Corey, were diagnosed with the same syndrome and underwent medical proceeds to deal with that.

It 's nice to know that in times of trouble, people stick together, Renee Sizelove said. Courtney and Corey were always out helping people in the community with fires or if they were having trouble breathing. Now, those people are just as willing to help us out and I think that 's great.

Renee believes that knowledge about Q-T syndrome is the key, and that putting the web address where people can get more information is a great idea.

It 's very rare. Chances of having it are less than one percent. If only one person reads about it on the website, it can potentially save that person, she said.
