In 2015, rugby league player Danny Jones died after suffering a cardiac arrest during a game. He had a condition called cardiomyopathy, which could have been picked up by a heart screening. His widow Lizzie Jones has since campaigned for more safety checks in the sport, with the Rugby Football League now introducing mandatory heart screenings.

One of those screenings revealed that Keighley Cougars鈥� Jordan Aitchison had a heart condition. He鈥檚 since undergone surgery and hopes to be back playing soon.

Jordan told Radio 5 Live鈥檚 Helen Skelton 鈥渋t鈥檚 hard to put into words鈥� his gratitude for what Lizzie has done:

鈥淚t鈥檚 meant the absolute world to me.鈥�

Lizzie wants to create 鈥渁 legacy鈥� and continue to spread awareness:

鈥淚 feel like Danny has died to save other people. I just want them [our children] to see the impact their dad had and the difference his life made.鈥�
