30 July, 2012

A Warrington family will cycle 1,000 miles from Denmark to Warrington in memory of a much-loved daughter and sister.

In August 2008, the Farrell family lost its youngest member, 15-year old Felicity, to SUDEP (sudden unexpected death in epilepsy). Felicity had only been diagnosed with epilepsy eight months previously. In 2009, older brother Tan moved with his Danish girlfriend from his hometown of Warrington to Copenhagen, Denmark.
