By Rebecca Black, Press AssociationA woman who lost her mother to a heart attack last St Stephen's Day has walked 300,000 steps in her memory. Robyn Stephenson and her family are bracing themselves for both their first Christmas without her mother, Lorna, but also the anniversary of her death. Ms Stephenson walked 300,000 steps in November to raise money for the British Heart Foundation – and to try raise awareness of symptoms, adding she knows her mother would have been cheering her on. “And because my mummy died after a heart attack, I thought, I’ll do it through the British Heart Foundation, because that covers all areas surrounding the heart and raise money for them. “I didn’t know at the time, that feeling that you might be sick is like a symptom a heart attack,” she said.
