A 29-year-old woman who died while waiting for a bone marrow transplant was “the light at the heart of our family”, her mum has said.
Aimee Read had been diagnosed with a life-threatening blood disease in 2016 and had already undergone one unsuccessful bone marrow transplant.
Another donor was found and Aimee, from Ramsbottom, was due to undergo the transplant in July at around the time of her 30th birthday.
