Please note this episode covers some potentially upsetting topics.

Harry Marshall is a remarkable young man. By the age of just 24 he’d lost two of the people closest to him – his brother Tom and his mother Alison, who had been living with heart failure for more than a decade. For many of us these experiences would have left us broken but having used his own grief as inspiration to go on an incredible fundraising journey for BHF, Harry is determined to help other young people to speak more openly about loss and the impact this can have on our mental health.

On this episode with Sarah Marsh, Harry speaks bravely and frankly about all he and has family have been through, why it’s so important to him to live life to the full and how the BHF has a special place in his own heart.
