Liz’s bio:

‘On 11 September 2001, my husband, Simon, died on the 106th Floor of the World Trade Centre, New York. I was 7 months pregnant at the time, expecting our first child and William was born on 14th November 2001. Eighteen months later my mum died of a degenerative illness, Multiple Systems Atrophy that is related to the Parkinson’s disease.

I found myself in a place where my normal had gone and I had to completely rebuild my life from scratch – I had changed, my life had changed and I had to create a new future and a positive way forward.’
