Holly Gibbs

She was told by doctors she was lucky to be alive.

Now she's on a mission to inspire others to simply live life.

The BBC's Chloe Hughes went along to meet Faith at her new bench.

Before my heart attack I was a weightlifter, bodybuilder, strength training but really just lived a carefree lifestyle I guess.

I think at that age of 22 you think you're invincible.

Straight after I was pretty much told the heart function was really, really poor which just meant my body organs weren't getting enough blood to support everything that I needed to do.

I was told if I didn't respond to medication, I'd need an ICD, so a defib fitted in case of a dangerous arrhythmia to shock me.

And the potential, again, if my medication really didn't work, that I would need a heart transplant, which I don't think I would ever have heard those words.

But I didn't realise at the time how much damage my heart attack had actually done to me and what the consequence of a heart attack actually is.

How has that changed your life?

it changed it completely I think it did a 180 but I think it did a 180 for the best reasons I looked at life completely different I started to take care of myself more physically mentally and emotionally especially mindfulness I stepped away from sleep

strength training and went into Pilates which then led to opening my own studio which is going really really well and I'm really happy about it.

I think everything in life went on the flip side but the best side it could have done.

Just onto the bench now then, why here?

I mean it's a lovely view anyway so you can sit here and just talk and talk about life and what we're grateful for but also to reminisce

people who maybe didn't survive cardiovascular disease and being able to raise awareness and educate and also you know for the people who did survive looking at them and saying go live your life have a good time.

How do you feel when you sit here do you come here often?

Yeah we come every time that we actually walk around Shrewsbury it's come our little spot to have a drink and sit and talk and for me it's it's not about me the bench really isn't it it does go for everyone that's got cardiovascular disease and

in order to educate and raise awareness.

My outlook was don't care what anyone's got to say, do whatever feels good for you, try your best and you'll never know if it's going to work unless you give it a go and as much as life gets uncomfortable and
