Feel Good Friday

A special Feel Good Friday today as one of our young members, Evie (18, 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.)

Evie has written a great blog about her life with half a heart - she talks about her hopes for University, having a social life, keeping up with friends, telling people about her condition, and why she's grateful for her handmade heart.

"Having a handmade heart obviously has its ups and downs when trying to live a normal lifestyle. Being a teenager I of course love to socialise and especially enjoy a good gathering with my girls. But of course I have limitations unlike my friends. I do find it hard when I see my friends drinking and knowing that I can’t join in to the extent that they do it. But I also find it absolutely hilarious watching them throughout the night when I’m the only sober one."
