SISTERS from Deeside are doing an act of kindness every day for 60 days in memory of their beloved mum.

Demi and Meg Lewis, from Shotton, are marking the run up to what would have been their mum, Sue's, 60th birthday by doing a different act of kindness every day.

November 4 of this year would have been Sue Lewis' 60th birthday - but her life was cruelly cut short by cancer.

Five years ago, she died one day after her 54th birthday after a brave 13-month battle with terminal cancer - having spent her last few days at Nightingale House Hospice in Wrexham.

Meg, who turns 23 on Monday, paid a touching tribute to her mum.

She said: "She was a nurse for over 30 years which was perfect because she was incredibly kind and empathic.

"But her main role and focus was always being our mum. She did so much in her life but she told us that we were her greatest achievement.

"She was fiercely protective and supportive. She encouraged everything we did and did everything she could to help us to do well at whatever it is we wanted to do. It's maybe a cliche in these cases but she really was brave until the very end and protected everyone around her as much as she could."

The Leader: Sue and her husband, Alun. Sue and her husband, Alun.

in her memory, Meg and Demi, alongside their partners, Josh and Jack, have pledged to do a public act of kindness every day until November 4.

Meg said: "Right about now we should be thinking about what presents we’ll get her, maybe what kind of cake she’ll like and how on earth we’ll sneak the balloons from the car and into the house without her seeing.

"Whilst we’ll never get to do any of those nice little things for her again we can redirect that energy and positivity elsewhere, in her name and memory.

"For the last week we have been carrying out (at least) one small act of kindness per day and will continue to do so right up to her birthday - 60 little acts of kindness across 60 days for her 60th birthday."

So far, they have already hidden books in public for people to take home, donated to the foodbank, left flowers on people's doorsteps, left tennis balls in a park for dogs to play with and litter picked.

The Leader:

Meg and Demi are also raising money for Nightingale House Hospice - which provided free palliative care for Sue, and does so for thousands of other local people.

She added: "We’re hoping that in sharing these gestures they might multiply, with some of you carrying out your own acts of kindness in our mum’s or someone else’s memory.

"We’re hoping too that together we can raise some money to support a charity that means a lot to my family, and many other families too, and so our first act was to set up and donate to a fundraising page."
