Mia was nominated for Merseyside Woman of the year 2019 and was announced the winner on Friday and this is a recognition for all of her charity work, campaigning, writing a book and being a role model for thousands of people thank you for every single person who voted for her you have no idea how much it would of meant to her to know she had won we just wish she had of been there to see it. In her words Mia has said, “I am excited about this”, “Becoming an Ambassador for A Stroke of Luck beats any achievement”. Austin, who worked for The Co-operative Travel in Heswall in Merseyside , passed away on Wednesday last week – two days before being named Merseyside Woman of the Year 2019 and Inspirational Woman of the Year.

Carlton Football Club acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land on which IKON Park is located, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. But the inquest was told Mia suffered from "locked-in syndrome" - and was unable to cough up the sweet. IN HER very short career, Mia Austin has had to overcome what most footballers deal with over the course of a storied career. Speaking before her death, mum Carol told the ECHO: “When these things happen you can either sink or swim, but Mia is so determined and is so stubborn that she just gets on with it.Mia was then diagnosed with an extremely rare condition known as ‘locked in syndrome’ which medics have described as “the closest thing to being buried alive”. She wanted to win so she could raise more awareness about the issues close to her heart and to extend her charity work. A woman with locked-in syndrome choked to death after trying to emulate the “ marshmallow challenge” made famous on Love Island. A young woman choked to death on a marshmallow after trying to copy a challenge on TV's Love Island, an inquest heard. My clients' books include 'Letters from Lebanon' by Caroline Karkoutli and 'In the Blink of an Eye' by Mia Austin, as well as other non-fiction ghostwriting.

We’ve all got each other’s backs and were all there to help each other grow and I really love that ‘Polly’ has implemented that.

There’s a lot of pressure on her [Austin] on the outside, but we try to make sure that inside our four walls, she can control what she can control,” Polatajko said. We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. She even travelled to Africa to support communities, visit orphanages and schools and deliver donations of stationery and toys. I am looking forward to spending a lot of time getting to know Mia over the coming days, months, and years. Mia suffered a stroke aged 21 after collapsing in the middle of the night despite being perfectly healthy.
