A DYING transsexual's dream of a white wedding has become a reality after her appeal for help in Your Worcester News went viral – and the whole special day was organised in just 18 hours. Brain tumour sufferer Parma Bertoli, who has fewer than 12 months to live, will marry her fiancé Stephanie Nickles at a once-in-a-lifetime ceremony in February. The couple from Warndon, Worcester, who fell in love as men before having sex change operations, thought their lack of friends and funds would mean their big day never came. But the local community, led by event organiser Malvin Hobbs, got behind the emotional story, pledging everything from traditional white dresses to beautiful flowers needed to fulfil the romantic pair's hopes.
