A charity set up to help send a young Bradford girl on a dream holiday today vowed to fight on with its fundraising despite her sudden death earlier this month.
Friends and family of brave 13-year-old Chloe Hudson have produced a calendar to help raise money for the Buy a Child a Smile charity set-up by her mum Peta.
The calendar - which features mid-air shots of staff from the Hibaldstow Airfield in North Lincolnshire where the family held charity skydiving events - returned from the printers only days after Chloe died.
Buy a Child a Smile was set up by Peta Hudson and her friend Angie Chippendale to raise cash for children like Chloe who suffer from combinations of disabilities without a recognised diagnosis.
Chloe, who was unable to walk, talk, eat or even crawl, died earlier this month after suffering a massive fit following a major operation at Leeds General Infirmary.
The December page of the calendar features a picture of Chloe, surrounded by her family and friends dressed in Santa outfits, which was taken shortly before her death.
Peta, of Longfield Drive, Dudley Hill, Bradford, said she hoped the calendar and the work of the charity would help Chloe's name to live on.
"We really wanted to do a calendar and we thought that the airfield would be the best place because they have helped us to raise so much money," she said.
"We were doing this fundraising for Chloe but I was also going to help other children as well. I am not just going to give it all up now because all the good work that we have done would have been for nothing."
Peta said the charity was now planning to look for seriously disabled youngsters who would benefit from a dream holiday.
Bradford company Abbey Printers paid for the printing of the first 50 of the calendars which are available for £5. The planned front cover was changed to read: "In loving memory of Chloe Hudson".
