My story
We are taking part in Walk of Light 2026 on 27th March, in support of Blood Cancer UK in memory of Emma Mannix.
Emma was diagnosed with Pure Erythroid Leukaemia, an extremely 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 2026. This gives us an opportunity to raise money for the Emma Mannix Tribute fund at Blood Cancer UK.
We share the vision of Blood Cancer UK that only a 100% survival rate from blood cancer is good enough and hope that donations in memory of Emma will support vital research to beat leukaemia & other types of blood cancer.We're a community dedicated to beating blood cancer. We fund research and support those affected. Since 1960, we've invested over £500 million in blood cancer research, transforming treatments and saving lives. The day we beat blood cancer is now in sight and our researchers are determined to finish the job.
We walk to keep the memory of our loved ones burning bright. We walk to shine a ray of hope for someone as they face their darkest moments. We walk to light the path for a brighter future.
Because together we can be the generation to beat blood cancer.
