A four-year-old girl
who captured the hearts of the nation has died after losing her battle with
cancer. Jessica Whelan's plight came to
the public attention when her father Andy Whelan published a distressing black
and white image showing the little girl grimacing in pain as she battles her
terminal condition.
The four-year-old, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, was
diagnosed with stage four neuroblastoma in September last year
and is no longer receiving treatment.
Strangers raised £76,000 to give the little girl the chance
to enjoy the last few weeks that she has to live, but she tragically died at
7am this morning.
Below, is a capture of the sympathetic message posted by Her father to announce her
passing, on the Facebook Page created for her.
May her gentle Soul Rest in Perfect Peace...Amen!
