A BRAVE and inspirational mother who helped dozens of women suffering from breast cancer, has died of the disease.

Julia Dingwall co-founded Basingstoke charity The Pink Place which offered counselling and pampering treatments to women with breast cancer.

The 46-year-old, who battled cancer since 2007, passed away at St Michael’s Hospice last Tuesday.

The funeral of the popular mum will take place tomorrow at Basingstoke Crematorium at 11am, and her family are inviting anyone who wishes to attend to do so.
