This could be life saving! Do take the opportunity if you qualify ❤️

Free Cardiac Screenings for 14 – 35 year-olds
Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th March 2026
Lincoln Bishop University

In memory of Mike Harper 1997-2024

We’re proud to share that Lincoln Bishop University has provided space on campus for 2 days of free cardiac screenings. The family of Mike have asked us to share this with all of our students and our local community.

Mike’s parents Roy & Tracy Harper want anyone aged 14-35 to have the opportunity of a free cardiac screening, in partnership with Cardiac Risk in the Young - CRY.
Please see attached further details on how to reserve your place.

The parent perspective is that ‘if Mike had been screened, he would probably have been with us today. We don't want anyone else to lose anybody in this cruel and shocking way. Increased awareness and screening can only help.’

For more information about Mike - proud Lincolnian, Imps Fan, footballer and runner, here is a link to his memorial page https://www.c-r-y.org.uk/mike-harper/

Book your place: https://www.testmyheart.org.uk/private/

Please note that screenings are limited so we kindly ask that you only book a place if you are confident you can attend. Missed appointments can lead to wasted fundraising and may prevent others from accessing screenings.

8 reasons why you might need physiotherapy 👇

Physiotherapy isn’t just for sports injuries. If your body’s been trying to tell you something, these signs could mean it’s time to see a physio:

1️⃣ Recurring pain
If back, neck or muscle pain keeps coming back, physio can treat the cause – not just the symptoms.

2️⃣ Chronic (long-term) pain
Pain that lingers after an injury isn’t something you have to live with. Physiotherapy can help your body heal properly.

3️⃣ Poor balance or coordination
Frequent trips, falls or unsteadiness could be linked to muscle or joint issues that physio can improve.

4️⃣ Trouble sleeping
If pain or discomfort stops you getting a good night’s sleep, physiotherapy may help ease it.

5️⃣ Stiffness or reduced mobility
Feeling tight, stiff or less flexible than you used to? Physio can improve movement and protect your joints.

6️⃣ Old injuries that flare up
Past injuries don’t always heal fully. Physiotherapy can reduce flare-ups and prevent future pain.

7️⃣ Regular headaches
Headaches can come from muscle tension in the neck or back – something physio can help relieve.

8️⃣ Urinary incontinence
Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help manage stress and urge incontinence and improve bladder control.

✨ If pain, stiffness or discomfort is affecting your daily life, physiotherapy could make a real difference.
