A little girl in need of new lungs had a ‘once in a lifetime experience’ after being gifted tickets to see Taylor Swift in Liverpool.
Florence Ava Bark, seven, is currently battling graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) of the lungs after receiving a bone marrow transplant in August 2022. Florence has always loved music and dancing but because of her illness these experiences were never available to her.
Two days before Taylor Swift's final show at Anfield stadium, Sean Reddington, CEO of Thrive, was giving away two VIP tickets for ‘someone who truly deserves them’. A fan of Florence's social media got in contact with Sean and nominated her for the tickets. Moved by her story, Sean got in contact with Florence’s mum and decided to gift her the tickets.
