Beth Withill was a gorgeous lovely young lady who was flown away by the angels on Wednesday 27th January 2010 which was far too soon at such a young age. Beth was such a fighter and never complained about anything which she was going through. 

Beth was only 18 years old and she had suffered from Cystic Fibrosis from a very young age meaning that she was more prone to contract illnesses because her system wasn't as strong as other peoples. Beth was also fortunate enough to be given a lung transplant 3 years ago which made her that bit stronger and expanded her life expectancy. Not long after she had celebrated her 18th birthday on the 1st November 2009, she became ill and was taken into hospital to ensure she received the best possible care to make her recover. While she was in there she was sedated for a period of time, and she woke up on Boxing Day 2009 which was a great time for family and friends, as it meant that she was recovering. But then unfortunately a few days before Beth was meant to be vaccinated against Swine Flu, she was tested positive with it meaning that this made her very ill because her body was already very weak. Then not long after she was tested positive with Swine Flu, the doctors gave her 24 hours to respond to the medication and if not they would have to let her go. So on Wednesday 27th January 2010 at 7:20pm the angels came and flew Beth away. She was laid in hospital surrounded by her family, with her mum in the bed with her cuddling her and her favourite song Bette Midler - Wind Beneath My Wings playing. 

Beth was such a wonderful, beautiful, loved young girl. All family, friends and others who knew her loved her dearly and miss her so much since she was taken away. Everybody has a lot of memories with Beth. She loved parties and alcohol, she would never turn a party or night with alcohol down. Beth would always be in the centre of a party, dancing crazy with a bottle of vodka usually in her hand. Beth never complained about all the pain and suffering she was going through, she always battled through it with a smile on her face. For this everyone idolises her bravery and courage to battle on because as everyone knows if you are suffering and going through pain, a lot of people would have give up at the beginning, but not Beth, she battled through it all. Speaking on behalf of Beth's friends, we are all lucky to have known such a person like her, as she was always there when we needed her and would always give us the best advice to help us through our problems, and then she'd soon have us laughing instead of being sad. 

I hope that the people in Heaven are looking after her are doing as good a job as what her family, friends and nurses etc did while she was here with us. We all known that whoever she is with and wherever she is lying, she will be partying non-stop watching down over all of us, spying on what we are doing. It broke so many hearts when Beth was flown away but we know it was for the best as it released her from all of her pain and suffering. I hope that you are now breathing easy and sleeping tight. Although this is not goodbye, it's until we meet again. We all love and miss you so much Beth <3

As Beth's 1 year anniversary is fast approaching on Thursday 27th January 2011, I thought that it would be a nice idea if everybody came together to spend this hard day as one while raising money for Cystic Fibrosis. 

So I decided that I would organise a sponsored walk from Hull to Hornsea to raise some money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. We are going to be doing the walk on Saturday 29th January 2011 at 10am. Starting at Beth's House walking down the Trans Pennine Trial to reach Hornsea. I also decided that because Beth loved her pyjamas that we would all do the walk wearing pyjamas. Yes it will be cold as it is in January so if you wanted you are allowed to wear dressing gowns. We are also in the process of getting some t-shirts made with Beth's picture, name and dates on which we are going to sell to raise more money for the charity. 

Everybody is welcome to take part in this walk whether you knew Beth or not. We would just like everyone to come together to mark her 1 year anniversary. If you are not able to attend the walk or wouldn't like to take part, then we are just asking for a donation. No matter how big or small, every penny counts. Thank you so much everybody and we shall see you all on Saturday 29th January 2011. 

 WE LOVE AND MISS YOU LOTS BETH <3
