Being strong and confidant was drilled into Lorraine from a young age.
Born in a little town called Leigh and one of seven, Lorraine is no stranger to the comfort of community and arms of family.
At the delicate age of 6, her parents separated and she was fostered out with her sister Mandy (aged 7). “I had a happy childhood until I was six.” Some may think she was ‘lucky’ to be fostered with her sister but Lorraine begs to differ.

I didn’t have a mother and my dad wasn’t around anymore” (O’Neill, 2006, p.146).…
