Incredible fundraising in memory of newlywed who died aged 32

Hello,

Wednesday lunchtime is when we take a look at some of the amazing things the fine folk of Lancashire have done.

More than £42,000 has been raised in memory of a Leyland newlywed who has died three months after being diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Charlotte Nicol died on July 7, having been diagnosed with glioblastoma four months after getting married.

Just days after the heart-breaking news in April, she decided to open up about her experiences and use it as a way to raise money and awareness for Cancer Research UK.

Under the name Zero Sense of Tumour, she set up a Go Fund Me page, and contributions from friends, family and colleagues mean the £50,000 target is now within touching distance.

Elsewhere, a teenager from Ashton not allowed to attend her prom has finally been able to wear her dress and make her late gran who helped pick it out proud.

Ella Rose, 15, was told by Ashton Community Science College that due to her "negative behaviour and unwillingness to co-operate" that she would not be able to attend her prom at Bartle Hall Hotel in Preston.

Fast forward a week and, just like Cinderella had a fairy godmother, so does Ella in the shape of her drama teacher Melanie Ash, who asked her to present awards at their annual ceremony.

Thanks for reading,

Adam
