Beating Heart of Liverpool

April 15, 2022


ECHO WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 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.


In his name, Robin and friends created the first Heartbeat event, a sponsored swim from Scotland to Ireland for the British Heart Foundation.


The rest, as they say, is history.
