Charity walker hopes to give 'perfect Christmas' to family of mum-of-six who was given a day to live
A big-hearted Blackpool man is raising funds to help the family of a mum-of-six who was given just a day to live after being diagnosed with leukaemia.
He said: “Poppy came out really poorly, and Carrie was on a mild chemo, but I was made up when I saw them come home. Carrie calls her her ‘mini lioness'. Carrie told LancsLive in August: "It had attacked my body so quickly. My white blood cells were at 198, so I had to have chemotherapy and a blood wash. Once I had that, [the doctor] said I could have a future and that's when I started to pick up.”
"Carrie is currently in ill health with cancer at Blackpool hospital and soon to be moved to Manchester hospital, so I thought because of the challenges she is going through we should do our bit.
