A mum is facing her first Mother's Day without her daughter but her family will undertake a number of activities in her memory.
Nikki Gray, from Widnes, was a children's ICU nurse at Alder Hey. She died at the age of 53 in December 2022, after a number of cancer diagnoses.
Nikki was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011, while she was working in ICU at Manchester Children’s Hospital. She had been in remission but was diagnosed again some years later - this time with ovarian cancer.
