'She was the sparky one of our group”: Cheryl remembers her late bandmate and friend, Sarah Harding, and reveals how Girls Aloud has vowed to honour her last wish ❤️ via BritishVogue
I asked her over and over again how we could help. Was there anything she truly wanted or needed? Finally she said to me: “I would love you to create an evening, a gala of some kind for me. If I am here and can attend I will be able to thank those who have helped me through all of this, and pay that forward in a way that will help others when I’m gone.”The rest of Girls Aloud and I took up the baton soon after, rallying together to make sure we made Sarah’s last wish come true.
Our aim is to fund a study headed up by Sarah’s oncologist, which will look at why so many women are suffering this terrible ordeal so young, without any previous genetic markers. This vital understanding would not only help but potentially prevent others like Sarah from suffering the torment she did.
I would like to move forward by remembering Sarah before her illness. Although memories of that time do exist and are hard to shake, they hold no weight against the light she so brightly shone in the years beforehand. I have many, many more of those years to hold onto, and that is my intention. Her fun, bubbly side, her close-to-the-edge risky side, and her deeply soft and vulnerable side are some of the intricacies that made up Sarah in all of her glory.
In the last few days spent with her, we got to laugh, cry, reminisce, cook, watch spiritual programmes and pray together. Those are the parts I will keep in my heart as I let the illness recede into the background. Now I want to commemorate her by helping to give thanks to those who kept her going in her darkest of days and nights.Sarah’s Primrose Ball will take place at The Londoner Hotel on 8 October with performances from Olly Alexander, Ricky Wilson and Chrissie Hynde.
