Lisa was a work colleague who came to work for the Pre assessment Department.

She also had a great sense of humour and always knew what to say to put a smile on your face or those she was working with. She also had a natural way of putting people at ease she was caring for. 

The day we heard Lisa had been taken into hospital was devastating not only for her but also for her family. She had been experiencing some chest pains at home and had called an ambulance. In the days that followed we waited for further news on our friend from her partner Dean. Unfortunately, Lisa sadly passed away in hospital. 

In Lisa’s memory Rachael Shenton and her son Thomas decided to do a 5k Mud run raising money for Cardiac Risk in the young. This was important to us both as Lisa had a son of a similar age. The event was supported by many of Lisa’s work colleagues who agreed to take part in the event on 9th November 2024 or help with fund raising. Together we raised an incredible £1,556.

Special thanks go to Dean Beddoes for help with fund raising, Thomas Shenton, Delli Coleman, Nikki Tomlinson, Zoe Jolley, Sian Gronow, Joanne Thomas for agreeing to do the Mud run, Chris Skitt and the Pre op team for fund raising and all who kindly donated.
