    National Family Heroes 2014 - Dan and Joanne

    dan and jo

    Dan and Joanne Thompson’s lives changed forever when they lost their beautiful 9-month-old daughter Millie in 2012, when she choked on her lunch on her 3rd day at nursery.

    Through their grief, Dan and Joanne made the decision to start a charity in their daughter’s name that would make a difference to people’s lives called Millie’s Trust. Both Dan and Joanne gave up their jobs to retrain in first aid so that they could teach others life- saving skills to help ensure no family has to go through the pain they suffered.

    Their hardwork and commitment has meant that hundreds of children across our country are now in the presence of first aiders who know what to do in an emergency. They are a truly inspirational couple.
