An inspirational Stoke-on-Trent schoolgirl has journeyed to London to speak to MPs about her family’s charity work. Frankie Hughes has been fundraising for the Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) charity from an early age.

Her uncle, Daniel Hughes, tragically passed away in his sleep in 2015 as the result of an undiagnosed heart condition. Wednesday, March 19, marked the 10-year anniversary of the ‘popular’ Bignall End postie’s untimely death.
