The Melissa Leech Lymphoma Association Tribute Fund
Mel showed amazing courage during her battle with Lymphoma and she continues to be an inspiration to many people, not just in the UK, but across the world.
Mel loved her family and friends. She was studying psychology at Aston University and threw herself into university life with passion and enthusiasm.
She was an avid football fan and supported Liverpool and her local team Burton Albion, unlike me, her father, who supports Burton Albion . . . and Everton!
Following her diagnosis Mel was helped tremendously by the Lymphoma Association. She chatted in the chat room, left messages on the message board and would always find time to help others.
It is for that reason that we have set up this tribute fund in memory of our beautiful and remarkable daughter, Melissa Alice Leech x
