Somerset Storyfest is honoured to be able to host Ellidy in conversation with Tilly Ryan for the launch of her powerful memoir which shares Chumpy, Ellidy and their daughter, Minnie’s, story.

Gold Coast’s Ellidy Pullin is a popular podcaster and influencer. When her soul mate, World Champion snowboarder Chumpy Pullin, died in a spear fishing accident, her world stopped. In the hard hours after his death, with the support of friends and family, Ellidy decided to harvest Chumpy’s sperm and try for the baby they both wanted so deeply. Their beautiful daughter, Minnie, is nearly one. Ellidy is determined to keep the memory of Chumpy strong, to honour his spirit and for Minnie. Heartstrong is an unforgettable book about love, joy, loss, grief, hope and finding a way to keep going in the darkest of times.

This event will be held at Brooklyn Wine and Tapas on Thursday September 29 at 11:30am. Grab your ticket and a copy of the book to learn more about Ellidy, Minnie and Chumpy’s story.
