Beating Heart of Liverpool
April 15, 2022
Liverpool is a city with a big heart, but none quite as big as that of local man, Robin Baynes MBE.
Robin is the founder of Liverpool Heartbeat, a charity committed to inspiring and supporting young people to live healthy lives. Robin founded the charity in memory of his lifelong friend, Kenny O’Toole, a fellow Liverpool School Swimming Champion.
