The family of a young woman who died from cervical cancer after she was deemed too young for a pap smear have posted a heartbreaking video to raise awareness of the disease.

Sorcha Glynn died on October 25, 2014 after a 13 month battle with the deadly cancer. She was initially refused a pap smear due to her young age following a visit to her GP in June 2013.

Sorcha’s family have campaigned tirelessly since her death to raise awareness of cervical cancer in young women.

In the emotional video, Sorcha's friends, family members, co-workers and her partner Matt pay an emotional tribute to their loved one.

She is described as “bubbly, full of life, honest, kind”.

Matt’s mother, Mary said: “She was like a daughter to me. If she came into a room, she just lit it up.”

Sorcha’s sister bursts into tears as she describes her “beautiful sister”. Christina, her mother, describes how Sorcha loved her friends and her family.

In an emotional tribute, Sorcha’s father, Vincent says: “She was a very family orientated girl. She always loved Christmas or family holidays. She was always wanting us to be sitting around a table eating together.”

Please, please if there is one thing you do today, take 15 minutes to watch this video and share. We can't... http://t.co/HsQyOZnMtK
