Elle Miller, from Leyland, was just 12 when alarm bells started ringing for her mum and dad
A brave schoolgirl was given a heartbreaking diagnosis when her parents became concerned about how much she was sleeping - and told doctors about a cough which wouldn't go away.
She said: “Being diagnosed at such a young age I don’t really fully know still to this date if I understood what cancer was or what was to come. I think I knew I’d lose my hair, but I just always had this feeling that everything was going to be alright. She continued: “I used to do my schoolwork at the hospital to try and not fall too far behind and I missed a lot of lessons for appointments, or not being well enough to go in, but then I got better, and I went on to do my exams and then teacher training."
With around 43,600 people diagnosed with cancer every year in the North West*, Elle’s message is clear – to save lives tomorrow, Cancer Research UK needs the public’s support today. That’s why she’s calling on people across Lancashire to give regularly to the charity to help fund long term research projects that could drive new breakthroughs for people like her.
“I have a tattoo on my wrist that says survivor and that is what I am. I have been fully discharged for five years now and I have a great life, making memories every day, and that is all thanks to research.”
