The life of a 15-year-old girl who died after leaving to take her dog for a walk will be celebrated with a fund-raising dinner and auction.
Eve Lewis, a year 11 pupil at Burscough Priory Academy who dreamed of becoming a lawyer, died after being hit by a train at around 1.35pm on September 26, 2021. The 'bright and popular' teenager had been struggling with an eating disorder, which dramatically worsened during lockdown.
She was admitted to Southport and Ormskirk District General Hospital in May 2021, where she managed to gain 5kg before being discharged four weeks later. She continued to gain weight at her home, on Ainscough Drive, but was 'tormented' by the mental disorder until her death.
