Heartbroken family of baby girl Evie who died at RVI of heart complications raise £500k in her memory

Almost seven years on from her death aged just six months old, Evie Johnston's family have now raised more than £500,000 in her memory to help other children facing serious medical conditions and their families.

Set up by parents Jill and Greg, Team Evie works to raise money to support families who find themselves in the terrifying situation they did in 2015 - when Evie spent much of her life seriously ill at the RVI in Newcastle before dying after suffering heart complications.

Since Evie's death, those who loved her have channelled their energy into the charity - and into making sure her story, and her personality, lives on.
