'She was such a happy, loving girl - she smiled the whole way through her treatment'
Lorraine Wilson knew her daughter Milly needed a blood test after she had reported feeling unwell for some time.
But as a nurse, she insisted blood tests be done, and Milly Walmsley was diagnosed with acute leukaemia in November 2014. The family, from Blackburn, were rushed to hospital and Milly underwent gruelling treatment right away.Milly had to spend several weeks in hospital where she was given a bone marrow transplant and told she was in remission, reports the ECHO. But, sadly, it returned and she passed away in September 2015.
Explaining the purpose of the charity, Lorraine said: “We provide a bag for families who arrive in hospital with nothing, like we did, that will help them and show them we understand and we care. It's like a hug in a bag. "We've now expanded to Leeds and we are soon hoping to take on another hospital with the aim of providing for all children's hospitals in the UK, to make a difference for these families."
