Faye Sharp, from Aberdeenshire, was on a school trip to Belgium and France that she began to feel ill aged just 15.
The heartbroken family of a Scots teenager who died from leukaemia after falling ill on a school trip are fundraising in her memory.
During the illness her parents had to juggle looking after their other two children, while spending as much time as they could with Faye in hospital. Her mum Christine also had to take time off from her work to care for Faye, which impacted the family financially. KWS stepped in to support the family throughout Faye’s illness, and when she passed away just one month after her 18th birthday. They helped take care of additional costs, which was a huge weight off the family’s shoulders in the midst of their heartache.
