What's in today's Medway Messenger

My Mum
My Mum

Pick up a copy of a special Mother’s Day edition of the Medway Messenger – packed full of deserving mums.

Children at schools across Medway have been putting pen to paper to draw pictures of their mums and we have printed them all in our 50-page My Mum supplement – free with today’s paper.

In December we reported how Laura Hymas, who is mum to two-year-old Jacob, is fighting an aggressive form of brain cancer thanks to pioneering treatment in America. Now we can reveal that Laura’s tumour has shrunk dramatically.

For years the White Road Estate in Chatham has been regarded as a hot spot for crime and anti-social behaviour. Now a group of mums who live there have said enough is enough and have started a group to reflect their neighbourhood in a positive light.

We’ve also got a mum who has been inspired to run the London marathon by her daughter who has diabetes and a mum who has raised thousands of pounds for the special care baby unit at Medway Maritime Hospital.

We have got a full report and reaction on Medway failing to get city status. And don’t miss the tale of a dramatic helicopter rescue when a dog fell down a quarry.

In sport, we have got an exclusive interview with Gills manager Andy Hessenthaler on facing Crawley boss Steve Evans for the first time since Evans accused Hess of racism last year.

Readers also have the chance to win a £100 trolley dash at Sainsbury’s in What’s On.

All this for just 90p – don’t miss it.
