We know Father’s Day can be a difficult time for many.
For twins Alana and Lisa Macfarlane (aka The Mac Twins), their Dad was their world. But that world crumbled when they learned he had suddenly died of a heart attack.
One day they’re there, one day they're not. It never goes away.”
Ines Rae’s story has a happier ending. Growing up her dad suffered from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. But thanks to a heart transplant, their bond remains unbroken, inspiring her song "Someone Else’s Heart".
“I am so grateful that I get to spend many more moments with him.”
Every three minutes in the UK someone loses a loved one to a heart or circulatory disease. And more than half of us will get a heart or circulatory condition in our lifetime.
This August, Ines and her dad will tour the UK, performing a bunch of gigs in a handful of BHF Retail shops to raise money and awareness for British Heart Foundation. Details for the heartfelt gigs will be announced soon.
Alana and Lisa will honour their dad's memory on the 10th anniversary of his passing by taking on the North Coast 500, a 500 mile round trip of the Scottish Highlands, in a VW Campervan with their family and kids this September. They will share heartfelt stories about their dad, listen to his favourite songs, and rally support for British Heart Foundation through donations.
