Tributes have been paid to an 'amazing' young woman who died while awaiting a bone marrow transplant. Aimee Read, 29, was due to undergo the life-saving procedure next month to treat a life-threatening blood disease.
Aimee, from Ramsbottom, was diagnosed with PNH – paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria – back in 2016. The condition sees the body’s cells attacked by the immune system.
Aimee had a bone marrow transplant back in January but it proved unsuccessful, leaving her and her family 'deflated'. Last month, doctors offered a glimmer of hope when they revealed they had found another donor.
