Feel Good Friday

A special Feel Good Friday today as one of our young members, Jack (20, HLHS) has written a brilliant blog post for LHM about what it's like having half a heart. (As part of our Handmade Hearts series, LHM’s young members talk about life with half a heart. To learn more about Handmade Hearts, click here.)

HLHS hasn't stopped Jack from opening his own business, winning a Young National Campaigner of the Year Award and raising thousands of pounds for LHM. Jack talks about how he hasn't let his condition define him, and how life is what we make it.

"Turning 21 and enjoying life to the full, I always think about this: life is what we make it. It’s our own decision to choose what and who we want to be. Life is tough, and for people like myself, it’s a little tougher. Yet I choose that my condition won’t get in the way of what I want to do."
