MY BRAIN TUMOUR BATTLE: A JOURNEY OF HOPE AND DETERMINATION
MY STORYOver two years ago I was diagnosed with a Petroclival Meningioma - a rare complex brain tumour that sits at the base of the skull, perilously close to critical structures like the brain stem, cranial nerves, and major blood vessels. Only 2% of brain tumours are of this type.
DEFYING THE ODDSDespite the immense challenge of this diagnosis and having the ultimatum of having 7 months to live due to the tumour growing so fast - I was determined to fight. The 16 hour operation to remove the majority of the tumour was a miracle in itself, thanks to the skilled team of surgeons and nurses at Southampton General Hospital. However, the recovery process has been long and arduous, as I've grappled with impaired vision, tinnitus, chronic fatigue, nausea, and severe headaches.
A MISSION OF HOPE AND AWARENESSYet, I refuse to let this brain tumour define me. If anything, it has galvanized my resolve to raise awareness and funds for vital research and support. Statistics show that brain tumours kill more children and adults under 40 than any other cancer (Brain Tumour Research) and over 12,000 people will hear the words “YOU HAVE A BRAIN TUMOUR” in 2025 (The Brain Tumour Charity) - a devastating reality that demands our attention and action.
Further more, fewer than 20% of those diagnosed survive beyond five years, compared to an average of 50% across other cancers. This is simply unacceptable.
TAKING ON PHYSICAL CHALLENGES FOR CHANGEThat is why this year, although I am still living with some brain tumour, I am taking on a series of personally daunting physical challenges to push the boundaries of what's possible and raise critical funds for The Brain Tumour Charity and Brain Tumour Research. From trekking 100 miles across the South Downs, to scaling the iconic O2 in London, to swimming 750m in an outdoor river in Bedford , as well as undertaking the Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge - I am determined to celebrate my own hard won progress while also inspiring others to join the fight.
FUELLED BY YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORTEach step, each summit, each stroke in the water will be fuelled by the love and support of my family, friends, and all those in the brain tumour community who have rallied around me. Your encouragement and generosity have been a constant source of strength, proof that we are in this battle together.
This year I am really pushing my limits with over neuro stimulation and have signed up for:
APRIL- 100 miles South Downs walk in April- Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge - My husband will be joining in on this challenge of 24 miles over 5000ft in 12 hours. On 19th April
MAY- Box End 750m Swim 31st May in Bedford. A nice mix of endurance and technique Open Water swimming is always exhilarating!
JUNE- Climb the O2 London in June. A fun and slightly different adventure. Something to look forward to.
JULY- Abseil Miller Dale Bridge 30m high near Buxton with a bunch of awesome people, all fundraising for Brain Tumour Research.
SEPTEMBER - Walking shoulder to shoulder with the Brain Tumour Research Charity for their WALK OF HOPE in Hampshire
2026 challenges will be posted soon …
