Brave little one.

Unless you live where I do, it's unlikely that the name Emily Bailes means anything to you, although you just might remember the little girl who tossed the coin for the women's final at Wimbledon in 2004 - for it was she. At that point, she had recently been diagnosed with cancer, and we all hoped, following an operation to remove one of her kidneys, that she would overcome it. Sadly it was not to be, and she died last weekend, a few months short of her 10th birthday. Sort of puts your own problems into perspective, doesn't it?
