Lisa named Supermums finalist

Thirty-six inspirational mums from across Northern Ireland will be recognised at a prestigious ceremony at Parliament Buildings, Stormont on September 30.

The local mums have been selected as finalists in the SuperValu SuperMums competition, sponsored by Magnum, Kellogg’s and Robinsons.

The campaign, which is now in its second year, was launched on Mother’s Day and received over 300 heart-warming nominations.

SuperValu Banbridge’s winner, Lisa Hamilton was selected as a winner for not letting life getting on top of her.

Between the births of her two eldest children Taylor-Rae (22) and Raegan (18) Lisa went through the heartbreak of six miscarriages as well as contracting meningitis.

More recently Lisa and her husband decided to become foster carers, welcoming two young boys, Jamie and Callum into their home, they were officially adopted into the family in July.

In addition, Lisa has opened a local youth club and has helped to raise over £38,000 for charity including Make A Wish Foundation and Headway Newry.

Lisa will now go on to attend the celebration event at Stormont later this month.
