Jess was diagnosed with Stage 4 Rhabdomyosarcoma in November 2014.  Throughout her treatment time at Alder Hey she was supported her Clic Sargent worker (Rach).  Rach looked after Jess in so many ways, she liaised with her school, sorted out her parents finances, got funding and treats for her to keep her happy during some truly horrific treatment and basically connected with her and made life that bit better. Jess trusted her so much,  Rach was the first person she turned to when she found her cancer had come back and was incurable.  You can find out more about Jess and her story at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1041229685930026/
