Hi I’m Lisa and I’ve just signed up to walk 100 miles this February and my amazing friends and family Emma, Louise and Vicky are joining me.

My step-daughter suffered a cardiac arrest at just 20 years old last June after a very short illness. She was placed on a ECMO machine until a suitable heart donor could be found. She received her new heart in August and is doing well and has even began walking herself. So to honour her bravery I’m walking 100 miles in February.

I’m not someone who enjoys walking in fact I’d much rather drive to the shop so this won’t be easy for me but if she can overcome her battles then we can walk.

Without research and innovations she wouldn’t be here today.

It’s important for me to raise as much as we can, so thank you for supporting our cause and watch this space for updates along the way.
