Olivia and Emily often come to Maddy’s memorial bench in Scargill Park in West Hallam, Derbyshire, which is where they all grew up. <\/p>\n
With both of their birthdays at the end of October, Emily says they’d always planned to spend them together, but “now I just come here”.<\/p>\n
“She used to get us in trouble with my dad when we were younger,” she says. <\/p>\n
“It was always her idea then I’d take the blame for it.”<\/p>\n
In an inquest focusing on darker times in her life, it’s this side of Maddy that her family thinks has got lost. <\/p>\n
Olivia, along with other members of Maddy’s family, has campaigned tirelessly since her sister’s death, setting up a foundation in her name to support aspiring female footballers. <\/p>\n
“The foundation keeps me going,” she says. “It’s been a real lifeline to be able to continue her story.”<\/p>\n
On Saturday, she organised a walk from Bramall Lane, Sheffield United’s ground, to near Derby where Maddy lived – a distance of almost 30 miles.<\/p>\n
“The aim with the walk is just to do her proud,” Olivia says. <\/p>\n
“Maddy would love that we were all challenging ourselves.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
