| LODGE. KAROKE QUEEN - UNTIL CANCER TOOK MY VOICE BOX |
| There was nothing better I liked to do than to belt out my favourite songs.
I was never happier than when I was standing with a microphone in hand, crooning the likes of Simply the Best and When a Man loves A Woman.
I’d always been into karoke, even since my mum Karen had bought me a karoke machine for my tenth birthday. Then it was Friday nights down at the pub with my mates, belting out numbers. |

| TRIVETT - CANCER GIRL WHOSE LIFE WAS SAVED BY THE OPTICIAN. |
| THIS is the little girl whose life was saved - after a visit to the optician.
Evie Trivett had been sent home by doctors three times with the diagnosis of conjunctivitis - yet it turned out to be deadly EYE CANCER.
It was only when her concerned mum Becky, 37, took her for a second opinion at Vision Express that the optician spotted something behind her right eye.
She was referred straight to hospital where tests showed she was suffering from retinoblastoma - a rare form of eye cancer.
Luckily the cancer was caught in time and after treatment, Evie has now made a full recovery. |

| SINGH. THE THREE SISTERS - ALL AGED FOUR - WHO AREN'T TRIPLETS |

Their mother Tessa Singh gave birth to girls Cara and then to twins Laura and Jenna, in the short space of just NINE months.
She fell pregnant just 12 weeks after giving birth to Cara, and the twins arrived unexpectedly into the world at just 28 weeks.
It means for three months of each year, the three sisters are all the same age. |

| HYLAND. I COULDNT LOVE MY DAUGHTER |
| ‘I’M sorry, but she has cancer,’ the doctors words rang around in my head.
I couldn’t take it in. How could my daughter have cancer. She was only two years old, yet we were being told she was fighting for her life.
I’d only given birth to her baby sister just a few weeks before, it was all too much to take in. It was only because of Poppy’s birth, that we had noticed that there was anything wrong with Gracie. |
