In Memory of Our Mums ❤️and Raising Vital Funds for BHF

We’re Lisa & Laura — colleagues, very close friends and usually known as the Dangerous Duo!

We have an amazing bond both inside and outside of work. We laugh together, travel together, support each other and have been there for one another through some of the happiest and hardest moments life brings.

Sadly, one of the things that connects us on a much deeper level is that we have both lost our mums.

That’s why we’ve decided to make the final months of 2026 something really special proving turning 40 and 50 is a privilege and getting our hearts pumping for this charity❤️

Every donation, big or small, is so appreciated and helps support the incredible work of the British Heart Foundation.

We’re stepping outside our comfort zones and taking on a series of challenges to raise money for the British Heart Foundation in honour and memory of our mums. ❤️

Our challenges:

🏃‍♀️ 13 September – Basildon Half Marathon – Laura

⛰️ 26 September – Scafell Pike Climb – Lisa & Laura

💪 6 December – HYROX London – Laura

🪂 30 December – Skydive – Lisa

From running 13.1 miles and climbing England’s highest mountain to taking on HYROX and finishing the year by jumping out of an aeroplane, we’ve certainly given ourselves something to train for!

We’re determined to prove that making our 40s and 50s years to remember can mean doing something completely outside our comfort zones while making a difference at the same time.

There will be plenty of training, aching muscles, facing fears and pushing ourselves further than we thought possible — but knowing why we’re doing it will keep us going.

And knowing the two of us, there will also be a LOT of laughter along the way!

The British Heart Foundation has helped halve the number of people dying from heart and circulatory diseases in the UK, but sadly hundreds of people still lose their lives every day.

The money raised helps fund vital research into heart and circulatory diseases, developing new treatments and discovering potential cures.

£24 could fund two hours of research by an early-career scientist — but every single pound makes a difference.

So please donate whatever you can.

Whether it’s £5, £10, £24 or simply sharing our fundraising page with someone else, we will genuinely appreciate every bit of support.

We’ll be sharing our training journey and counting down to each challenge, so please follow along, encourage us, laugh with us and remind us why we signed up when things get tough!

Most importantly, we’ll be doing every mile, every climb together and….. every burpee completed by Laura and — in Lisa’s case — every terrifying second falling through the sky…will be for our mums. ❤️

Here’s to making them proud.

Love,

Lisa & Laura ❤️

The Dangerous Duo
