My story

Lydia Wilson lived her short life to the full. Although she suffered from a rare form
of cancer, she never complained and always had a cheeky grin on her face. She captured
the hearts of many people with her infectious laugh and was inseperable from her devoted
twin sister Naomi. Lydia’s favourite drink was blackcurrant fruit shoots, which she drank
by the dozen and any food that she managed to eat had to be with tomato sauce!
Lydia loved music and enjoyed listening to anything that had a beat. Her favourite TV
programme was Pippin the dog on C Beebies and also her beloved Tweenies!
Lydia was a very special girl who suffered a lot of pain, she spent a big proportion of the
last 3 years in Alderhey hospital on both the neurosurgical and oncology wards and then
her final days at Claire house childrens hospice. Throughout all this time Lydia kept us
entertained with her funny little ways and amazing stamina, until on the 13th of July 2009
the fight became too much and she passed away peacefully in the arms of mummy and daddy.

Lydia was a true inpiration to us all. A gift from heaven X

As a fitting tribute to Lydia's memory we wish to raise as much money as possible for Claire House.
So please, please dig deep and help us to leave a lasting memory for a very brave, very special little girl.

£5700.00 raised so far not counting calendar sales or ticket sales for Royal Mail's Got Talent!!
