She suffered from a rare, undiagnosed condition
A dad says he hopes he will be making his daughter proud by delivering hundreds of heart tests to Nottingham schools in her memory. Aged just 25, Amy Osborne died six years ago in her sleep from a rare condition known as brugada syndrome, which affects the electrical messages controlling a person's heart rate.
"The challenge took 78 days and I rowed about 3,200 miles from Gran Canaria to Antigua. It was a solo mission and I didn't have any back-up, so for most of it I literally had no interaction with anybody else at all. Given that Nottingham-based MHR contributed significantly to the effort, Andrew says schools in the area will be one of the target areas for the roll out of the heart tests in the coming months. Two days have also been booked out at MHR's offices in Loughborough Road, where people will be able to go and have a test.
