It is a year since the death of Jade Goody and her loved ones still “miss her every day”.
The reality TV star died on March 22 last year from cervical cancer and her bridesmaid Jennifer Smith says Jade’s friends are keen to continue to raise awareness of devastating illness.
Ms Smith said: “It’s been a year since Jade died and we all miss her every day. We know that Jade’s cancer battle raised awareness of cervical cancer, especially among younger women, and we’re eager to ensure that more people are educated on the signs, symptoms and risks of cancer.”
Family members including her mother Jackiey Budden and widower Jack Tweed attended a memorial service on Sunday for the Big Brother star and visited her grave.
The mother of two’s public battle with the disease encouraged thousands more women to go for smear tests, with the number being screened rising by 12 per cent last year.
