Story
We are taking part in Walk of Light 2023 on 25th March, in support of Blood Cancer UK in memory of Emma Mannix. Emma was diagnosed with Pure Erythroid Leukaemia, an extremely rare type of blood cancer in June 2012. Unfortunately despite all the hard work, care, and expertise of the staff and consultants at Alderhey Hospital Emma tragically passed away on 7 October 2012. As those people who were lucky enough to spend time with Emma know she was amazing, always so bright, lively and full of fun. In tribute to Emma's resilience and positive attitude to life 'Team Emma' made up of her family, friends and the Neston High School community are participating in the Walk of Light 2023. This gives us an opportunity to raise money for the Emma Mannix Tribute fund at Blood Cancer UK in order to support valuable research as well as supporting Emma's legacy.
