A woman knew what she had to do after her mum was given an "out of the blue" diagnosis.
Lauren Voyce, from Rainhill, said she battled with her weight from a young age, but she struggled to find the right support. However, things came to a head last April for the 32-year-old when her mum Karen Martin, 65, was diagnosed with breast cancer following a routine appointment.
Lauren told the ECHO: "Because of mum's high BMI she wasn't able to have the first line of treatment that they wanted to give her. She was first diagnosed in April last year, it just came from a routine mammogram. It wasn't that she even found [a lump] - it was just out the blue."
