At the age of 12&half she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukeamia just 4 months after her dad had been diagnosed with lung cancer. They used to compare notes on what chemo they were having and understood the side effects. When Jades's dad died in 2007, it made Jade more determined to keep fighting her illness. She had reached remission once, but then it just kept coming back. Jade had fought her illness for exactly five and a half years, and 2 days before her 18th birthday, Jade finally lost her battle and left us on 5th January 2011 at home in her bed where Jade wanted to be.
