OUR STORY
The Mitchy Foundation was founded following the sudden loss of a beloved father, brother, son, and friend of many- Michael "Mitchy" Badnall. An event that changed our lives drastically.
IN MEMORY OF MICHAEL JOHN BADNALL
In early 2023, Hollie and Bobby started to form the start of what would soon become The Mitchy Foundation. A charity dedicated to helping people improve their heart health, with the hope of preventing others from enduring the pain they went through losing their dad.
​
On February 4th, 2020, Mitchy sadly lost his life to a sudden heart attack. Having no known previous concerns with his heart, this came as a real shock to many of his friends and family. Among those affected by this immense loss, Bobby and Hollie started to try and navigate life in the absence of their dad. It goes without saying that they would not allow his legacy and memory to end there.
​
​
As we reflect on our Mitchy's life, we couldn’t have asked for a more positive, supportive, and inspiring parent. He touched so many lives with his infectious energy and happy-go-lucky attitude. Someone that would go to great lengths for a friend in need. The Mitchy Foundation serves as a tribute to his memory, a testament to his love, and a reminder of the importance of cherishing every moment with our loved ones.
