A celebrity personal trainer's life changed when his sister died six months after getting pregnant.
Anita Swan was 27 when she was diagnosed with a cancer rare in people under 40, after showing her younger brother Richie a lump on her stomach. She survived another five years with the slow-growing, blood cancer, even going into remission at one point, before dying aged 32 from chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.
Richie, originally from Maghull, told the ECHO Anita was a "strong minded" woman and the first person he came out as gay to aged 19, when he'd raked up a massive bill calling a man on the landline and couldn't hide his relationship any longer. So he ran off and left Anita with the task of breaking the news to their parents, who were fine with it.
