Hi everyone,

My name is Lyndsay, and I run Hillmount Fitness — a community that brings together people of all ages and abilities to improve their health, fitness, and wellbeing.

Today, I’m reaching out for support for something incredibly close to my heart.

Recently, my younger sister has been seriously unwell and is currently receiving treatment in hospital following a heart transplant last month. Watching someone you love go through something so life-changing really puts everything into perspective. It’s shown me just how important quick access to lifesaving equipment and excellent care truly is.

Because of this, we are raising funds to install a defibrillator at our gym, creating a safer environment for all of our members — from children to older adults. While we hope we never have to use it, having one on site could quite literally save a life.

Any additional funds raised will go directly to support Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals that are caring for my sister, as a small way of giving back for the incredible work they do every single day.

This fundraiser means so much to me — not just as a gym owner, but as a sister, a mum, and someone who deeply values our community. Hillmount Fitness has always been about more than just workouts — it’s about looking after each other.

If you’re able to donate, share, or support in any way, it would truly mean the world to us.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support

— Lyndsay
