In 2024 we saw Bristol Singer, Marns, rise to success with performances at Bristol’s biggest festivals, she now faces the fight of her life!
Amanah, also known as Marns is reaching out for support as she faces the fight of her life. She has been diagnosed with pulmonary edema and a severe heart condition that requires a transplant. This isn’t just a health challenge – it’s a race against time, and Amanah is determined to raise money for the
British Heart Foundation.

Amanah says:
“Living with pulmonary edema has been overwhelming. Every breath feels like a struggle, and the simple things I used to enjoy have become difficult. My doctors have told me that a heart transplant is my only chance to regain a normal life, but the journey is physically and emotionally demanding.”
Your contribution, no matter how big or small, can make a life-changing difference to this to other people struggling with Heart disease.
Amanah is determined to overcome this hurdle and get back to living a full, vibrant life and dreams of the day when she can take a deep, easy breath, and feel her strong heart.
Marns’ magnetic tunes have graced our airwaves many times and performed at many of the City’s biggest events including:
