Laura Hughes has been raising awareness of the impact of knife crime for the past five years. Her brother Colin was brutally murdered following a knife attack in Bootle in 2001. Since then, Laura has fought to save lives through awareness campaigns across Liverpool and beyond, giving talks to school children, running marathons, and now campaigning to see bleed control packs in all public places.

This episode is the most important, impactful podcast we've recorded. It's a challenging listen but probably the most powerful audio you will hear this week. 

Laura tells the story of Colin's murder and the aftermath that ripped through her family. From finding out her brother was brutally attacked and murdered to facing his killers in court, there are no holds barred. This story will stop you in your tracks. But, as Laura says, if it can prevent one more person from being killed at the hands of another, then its job done.

Please listen and pay full attention to Laura's story. It may save the life of someone you love.
