Jessie Whitmore, who lived in Swanley in Kent in south-east England, was beautiful, caring, and had a wicked sense of humour. The moment she walked into a room you knew she was there.

She started taking oral medication, and her doctor arranged for her to have IVF so her eggs could be saved as there was a chance she could be affected by chemotherapy. Jessie bravely went through her treatment without seeking sympathy or undue attention. She did her very best to have as normal a life as she could, despite her illness.After a while it became obvious, unfortunately, that the oral medication wasn't working. Jessie was advised that she would at some point need to have a bone marrow transplant and intravenous chemotherapy. Jessie chose to have the transplant as soon as she could and she started helping her medical team find a matching donor.Finally a match was found. On the June day in 2005 when Jessie was admitted to King's College Hospital, London, her aunt Debbie gave her a notebook and suggested to Jessie that she keep a diary as Jessie was going to be in hospital for about six weeks.

Her mother Lorraine says: 'It has been some time now since Jessie went but not a day goes by that I don't miss her and long just to hear her say, "e;hello Mum"e;.'
