Almost four years on from the heartbreaking death of their daughter Ellen, a Northumberland couple have backed a hard-hitting campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of asthma, allergies and anaphylaxis.
The "three As" combined to take Ellen Raffell's live at the age of just 16 in 2019. She suffered an allergic reaction to, the family think, eating some crisps at her home in Blyth. Initially, parents Graham and Delyth thought that the issue was her asthma.
The couple have now taken part in a powerful film where they lay out the horrendous circumstances of Ellen's death as part of a campaign from Beat Anaphylaxis to raise awareness of what it is and the signs of the lethal condition.
