Hi, I'm Kim
We all know life is finite.
But nothing prepares you for being told exactly how little time you might have.
I’m 35, a mum to my amazing four-year-old twin boys, Max & Freddie, wife to my husband Ross and until January 2026, I was living a busy, happy life, running a small homeware business and working in recruitment part time.
In early January 2026, my life changed suddenly. I was hit suddenly by a severe headache, vomiting and lost feeling in my hand. After visiting A&E, a scan revealed a high grade, incurable brain tumour.
Doctors told me that without urgent surgery, I had just weeks or months to live.
Days later, I underwent a craniotomy. Most of the tumour was removed, however, pathology confirmed, it to be a grade 4 glioma, which will grow back. One of the most shocking things i was told following my diagnosis is that treatment options for people with Brain Cancer, have barely improved in almost 30 years. On the NHS you are offered Surgery, Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy. All of which may slow tumour growth, none of which are a cure. Since my diagnosis I have felt determined to raise as much awareness for the lack of funding in brain tumour research, so that one day, someone in my position will have better options than i do. I'm on a mission with an army of support behind me, on this greatest challenge of my life.
By creating this page and selling merchandice, i hope to raise awareness and get people talking about this injustice. Lets's get Brain Cancer research out of the 'too difficult' box and move from terminal to treatable!
Thank you for your support, it means more to me and my family than you know,
Kim x
