MISSING: Valerie Ellison, 41, from Shadsworth
A MISSING mother who is suffering from a life-threatening disease has been found safe and well.
Valerie Ellison, 41, had not been seen since 11pm yesterday, when she left her home in Arran Avenue, Shadsworth, Blackburn, where she lives with her husband Eric and two children, James, age eight and Eric, age four.
Earlier this morning police said they were growing increasingly concerned for Valerie as she suffers from a brain tumour and epilepsy and is in urgent need of medication.
At 11.40am, a police spokesman said: "Valerie Ellison has been located at an address in Accrington and there are no further concerns for her welfare."
