Hannah's Story

Hannah was your normal school girl, sister, daughter and friend until at just 16 years old, she discovered a lump on her leg and despite its removal, it turned out to be an aggressive cancer that returned and eventually spread to her lungs.

Hannah was exceptionally brave throughout her illness. She remained calm despite facing adversity and was a stable influence on all around her despite her severe illness. She had always hoped to be a model and despite her progressive decline, never gave up on that dream.

Hannah met her soul mate, Tom O’Driscoll, whilst they were both receiving treatment for their illnesses. Their relationship had all the hallmarks of a fairytale romance but only 10 days prior to their planned wedding day, they were forced to have a moving ceremony by Hannah’s bedside. Hannah succumbed to her illness only three hours after their marriage with Tom by her side.
