I met Annie when she started to work for Cardiff University, she later became my manager - she was very kind and helpful and very supportive when needed. She always tried to help anyone who needed it and always seemed to see the best in people. She always treated people well and with respect. She had quite a quirky character and was a happy soul even through the tough times. She loved her family and would always be there for them whenever they needed her. When she became ill she carried on regardless never letting it get the better of her. After she finished working with us she carried on helping others through Union activities and then starting her campaigning to raise awareness of the inequalities of cancer treatments throughout Wales. She was an inspiration to those that knew her and followed her exploits on Facebook, twitter and television. Her family can be really proud of her achievements, though it wasn't in time to help her she will have helped countless others through her dedication to her cause. I am proud that I can call her my friend and I will miss her very much. All my love to her family and friends.
