SEEING your nine-year-old child diagnosed with a brain tumour is every parent’s worst nightmare.

Three years on Georgia Hull is a normal year seven pupil at Lymm High School looking forward to the summer holidays and mum Liz is a relieved parent wanting to give something back to the Macmillan nurses who helped her family.

Georgia was diagnosed with the cancer in May 2009 and spent five months in Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool.

Liz, a former book keeper, said: “She was so poorly at the time.

“To hear your child has cancer is the last thing you expect to be told.

“But the Macmillan nurses were so kind and helpful.”

Helen was assigned to the family, which includes brother Alex, aged 13, and dad Chris, a finance director, and she soon termed them ‘Team Hull’.

“They have been there for other people and no doubt answered the same questions we had.

“Like how could we tell Alex and what happens next,” she added.

Georgia has just finished her first year at Lymm High School and completed a Race for Life in Birkenhead last week.

Liz said: “She is a normal girl now which has been such a relief.

“She goes to Guides and loves arts and crafts.”

As a thank you to Macmillan, Liz is now involved with volunteering and is promoting the charity’s sponsored walk at Lymm Rugby Club on Sunday, August 5.

She will be helping with registration while the rest of the family take part in the walk.

There are 10-mile or two-mile walks and you can take children and dogs on a lead.
