Leanne describes her 11 year old daughter Emmy as sassy, beautiful, courageous and mischievous. She was a young girl who tackled her cancer with bravery, giving her tumour, a medulloblastoma brain tumour the name 'Bob' after her favourite Minion character. Despite the successful removal of 'Bob' the tumour on Emmy's 11th birthday, the Croft Junior School pupil was re-admitted to hospital, and soon learned her cancer had returned more aggressively than before. When their daughter passed away Leanne and Dan made a promise to do everything they could we could to raise funds and awareness in Emmy's name to help others. Leanne spoke with Lorna Bailey about Emmy.
