YEP Says: Rachel's death is such a tragic loss

Her determination to be around for her family – especially her children – is as admirable as it is poignant.

Hundreds of people supported her campaign, no doubt hoping against hope that she would be able to beat the odds and survive for her family’s sake.

We are grateful for the help that fundraisers made, which helped Rachel and six others to have treatment, and we hope this is of some comfort to her family and to her children who can be so proud of her legacy.
