Tragedy of the mum who died after being denied NHS cancer drug trial because of Covid

A mum-of-two who was denied a potentially life-saving NHS cancer drug trial because of the Covid-19 pandemic has died.

Tributes are being paid to Dr Wendy Peake, who passed away surrounded by her family at home in Bowdon, Altrincham, last month. She was 61.

Dr Peake's family have now spoken out to thank thousands of people who donated funds to an appeal launched on her behalf after the NHS drug trial she had been accepted onto was cancelled due to Covid just days before it was due to start in 2020.
