Preston mum's inspiring legacy six months after breast cancer death
A Preston mum who will be remembered for her ‘beautiful smile’, her devotion to her beloved son, and for raising thousands of pounds for charity before she died, has been commemorated on her birthday.
“She was the family organiser. She never forgot a birthday, and she loved organising get-togethers for Christmas, birthday parties and even weddings. Where there was an excuse to party, Hollie was always at the forefront! Shortly after her diagnosis in 2021, Hollie launched her #checkyourbitsandbobs campaign. She had discovered a lump in her breast whilst playing with her little boy Theo, and underwent a mastectomy and chemotherapy.
Hollie, from Fulwood – who attended Lostock Hall High School and Runshaw College – was given the all-clear in October 2021, but was found to have secondary cancer in July 2022. She was admitted to hospital in August before returning home, and spent her final days surrounded by her loved ones at St Catherine’s Hospice in Lostock Hall.
