Lisburn mum honoured for fundraising effort for charity in memory of her son
Lisburn mum Kylie Logan has been honoured at a British Heart Foundation Northern Ireland (BHF NI) supporter event.
Kylie received a Fundraising Hero award from the leading heart charity.
On April 24, 2023 Kylie Logan, her friends and family took on an epic challenge to celebrate 18 years of loving Kylie’s beautiful son, Bradley.
Bradley passed away suddenly of an undetected heart condition in August 2015 when he was just 10 years old.
In honour of Bradley, Kylie and her friends and family decided to keep moving for 18 hours by doing an 18 hour walk. They did this on what would have been Bradley’s 18th birthday.
The walk raised almost £4,000 for BHF NI and since then Kylie has also offered her time as a volunteer.
Kylie said: “I’m thankful to receive an award for fundraising for BHF in Northern Ireland.
"The work I do is to honour Bradley and his memory. He was a typical 10-year-old little boy who loved sport and was so full of energy and fun.
“I want to continue to build awareness of undetected heart conditions and raise funds for the vital research BHF does to save lives, to help prevent other families from suffering this tragedy.”
Orla Copeland, Fundraising Manager for BHF NI said: “The Logan family understand the pain and heartbreak that undetected heart conditions can cause and Kylie’s efforts to help prevent the same tragedy for other families in the future have to be hugely admired.
“The BHF is incredibly grateful to Kylie, her friends and family for their support and are honoured to be supported in memory of Bradley.”
