Earlier this week she was recognised in the Yorkshire Post’s Christmas Honours for her courage and determination to raise awareness and try to stop other families going through what hers has.

The awards recognise those whose work has led to immense benefit across the region.

TV viewers tuning into last weekend’s BBC Sports Personality would have seen her singing Danny Boy. The single has now been released and is available to download.
