Liz, who has decided to live life to the fullest, dropped out of school and created a photography bucket list. Her work has gained attention as she continues capturing images to make her mark in the world of photography. She was invited by Prince William to photograph an investiture ceremony at Windsor, which included notable attendees such as cyclist Mark Cavendish and referee Wayne Barnes.
The Prince, a patron of the London Air Ambulance Charity, learned about Liz through the organization. Following the event, Liz expressed her gratitude online, writing, “Such sweet, genuine and kind people. I’m over the moon that my family got to have this experience.” Prince William also acknowledged Liz’s contribution, sharing photos and praising the honorees on his social media.
Liz’s rare cancer is diagnosed in only about 12 cases annually in England, and she has been given a prognosis of six months to three years. Despite the challenges, Liz continues to pursue her passion for photography, turning her focus to leaving a lasting legacy.
