Lip Sync battle to thank staff
by LUHFT
Danielle Carey is taking to the stage in a charity Lip Sync Battle to show her thanks to our Heart Failure team who cared for her mother-in-law, Janet Childs.
“Janet was treated in the Heart Failure Clinic at Aintree, but unfortunately, it reached a time when they couldn’t do anymore for her, and she passed away almost two years ago.

“She was always so happy going to the ward, all the staff were lovely and just amazing. They worked so hard and always made sure Janet felt comfortable, they couldn’t have done any more for her towards the end of her care,” said Danielle, whose wife and Janet’s daughter, Natalie Carey is also a HCA at Aintree.
Danielle, a Domestic at Aintree, added: “During the pandemic I was furloughed but after a while I just needed to be back out and working so I got a role as a domestic at Aintree. Then as a coincidence I was placed on the Heart Failure ward. When I first started it was hard remembering Janet and seeing the chair she had sat in, but I see how wonderful all the staff are with other patients.
“So, I just want to give something back and to raise some money for the ward and the staff that work here because they made Janet’s last couple of months happy for her, plus they made sure her family were all supported too.
“I’ve decided if I’m going to make a show of myself then I want to do it with a big song. So, I’m going to be Dolly Parton and lip sync to the song 9 to 5. It’s a great song people can join in with and I’ve already been shopping for my outfit and wig!”
