brother, Jake, who accom­ panied his mother and lit­ tle sister for the week at the hospital. Mrs Valovin said:“Jake was brilliant. He is so good with her. When it came time for Jas­ mine to have the stitches out, she admitted she was nervous and Jake had some tovs out in a second and did a little puppet show, demonstrating it being done. It was won­ derful, it got Jasmine over her nerves and she was as good as gold when they


did it.” Jake was also responsi­


ble for the two youngsters taking part in the recent Blackburn sponsored walk for the SuperSean Appeal. He suggested they should walk from Queen’s Park Hospital, where Jasmine’s tre a tm e n t began, to Ewood Park, as Jake is a Blackburn supporter. On the day, the children decided they could manage walking further and con­ tinued to Blackburn Bou­ levard, bringing their total up to £421.15 for a seven- mile walk. Jasmine will benefit from the MRI s c a n n e r when i t is installed at Blackburn Royal Infirmary as it will save her and her mother the trek to Manchester. Our photograph shows
