Laura Nuttall’s family to climb Pendle Hill 100 times in her memory

Laura, from Barrowford, was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, the most aggressive form of brain cancer, following a routine eye test and was later found to have eight tumours.

Despite her diagnosis and years of treatment, she went on to work her way through a bucket list of ambitions, which saw her meet Michelle Obama, command a Royal Navy ship, graduate from the University of Manchester and present the weather on BBC North West Tonight.

Laura’s sister, Gracie Nuttall, said Pendle Hill was one of the families regular walking spots and they would go up the hill whenever they could.

Gracie said: “From being quite young we’ve come up here. We did it on New Year’s Day in the past, she was the one that always loved it. She always used to love it and I was always the one that moaned.”
