#45 Greg Johnston - Always Moving Forwards

Greg talks to us about how no matter what, you need to always move forwards. 

We talk about: 

• A decision they made to ensure that Evie's life has a positive impact on the world.
• Stopping and reflecting on how much you have achieved.
• Having compassion for yourself and others; you don't know what they are going through.
• And the amazing impact Team Evie has had on the lives of thousands of children and families. 

Greg was a primary school teacher in Cumbria, until the birth of his first daughter Evie. Evie was born with multiple serious cardiac, respiratory and digestive problems and after 6 months spent mainly in the RVI she sadly passed away. Greg, and his wife Jill, created the charity 'Team Evie' to ensure that Evie had a positive impact on the world, and to help families who face similar challenges to those they faced along with Evie.

Greg now works full time as Chief Executive of the charity, which over the 4 years since Evie died has raised over £300,000 and helped 1000s of sick children and their families in the North East and Cumbria.
