Ruby has been recognised with a special national award
A Grimsby schoolgirl who showed great courage throughout her cancer treatment, is now recovering after a bone marrow transplant from her younger sister, and has been recognised with a special national award.
“I remember being on the train feeling pretty awful and helpless – my daughter’s got cancer, treatment’s not working, I’m missing all my family, I’ve quit my job – when my husband, Nick, rang to say our consultant had called and Mabel was a perfect match, and I just burst into tears in the middle of the train. I call her my shooting star. It was the lowest moment of my life and she just flew over.
“We were told the leukaemia was going to kill her, so we had to take the chance,” said Rebecca, who gave up her job whilst Ruby went through treatment, but is now working for the family artificial wedding flower business called GroovyRuby. The family arranged for Ruby to ring a bell that previously belonged to her beloved great-grandfather, who died from cancer in 2018, having not been able to ring one, like others normally would upon finishing treatment, due to the pandemic.
Every child nominated receives the accolade, which is backed by a host of famous faces, including celebrity chef Jean-Christophe Novelli, TV personality Dr Ranj and children’s TV favourite Mister Maker.
