Emma was diagnosed with Pure Erythroid Leukaemia, a rare type of blood cancer in June 2012.

Unfortunately despite all the hard work, care, and expertise of the staff and consultants at Alderhey Hospital Emma tragically passed away on 7 October 2012.

As those people who were lucky enough to spend time with Emma know she was amazing, always so bright, lively and full of fun. In tribute to Emma's resilience and positive attitude to life 'Team Emma' made up of her family, friends and the Neston High School Community are participating in the Walk of Light 2022. This gives us an opportunity to raise money for the Emma Mannix Tribute fund at Blood Cancer UK.

We are taking part in Walk of Light 2022 on 26th March, in support of Blood Cancer UK. People affected by blood cancer faced an unimaginably difficult year last year and I'm taking part in Walk of Light to support everyone affected by blood cancer and to light the way to a brighter future.For more information about Blood Cancer UK please visit www.bloodcancer.org.uk.
