FRIENDS and family of a young mum who died on Easter Sunday came together on what would have been her 30th birthday to raise funds for those who supported her.
Alex Warden, 29, was ‘funny, bubbly’ and loved by all those that knew her.
And her mum, Alison Fitzgerald, told the Chronicle that she was also a real fighter due to what was going on behind the scenes.
Alex had been fighting a rare liver disease - auto immune hepatitis - since she was just eight years old, but on the surface she was just like any other loving mum.
Last Saturday would have been her 30th birthday, and her friends and family - including her son Rocco - came together to raise £600.
Alison told the Chronicle: “It was a lovely day for Alex’s 30th birthday on Saturday.
“The rain kept away which was a bonus.
“It was very emotional but lovely to have our friends and family there to celebrate with us.
“We managed to raise £600 for the liver transplant patients and their families on ward J83 at St James Hospital.”
