Tributes have been paid to a woman who died after suffering with chronic fatigue syndrome.
Kara Jane Spencer, who was an Edge Hill student, fell ill with a severe form of myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) 15 years ago. This left Kara unable to walk and needing around the clock care.
Her loved ones announced on her website that the 32-year-old, from Derbyshire, died on Monday, January 2 surrounded by family. Despite having ME symptoms while at university she went on to graduate in 2012 and perused a career in the arts. In 2020 she topped the charts with her hit album, It’s Still ME, created to raise funds for the ME Association.
