In 2014, Laura was diagnosed with cervical cancer. After collapsing while running the London marathon, she started to look into her health to see what could have been the cause. Since being told she was free from cancer, Laura has used exercise as her way to stay fit and healthy for her mind and her body. She said,
On reflection, I was incredibly lucky. A cancer battle that was fought and won within 5 months. The physical recovery was another 6 months and the mental recovery has been even longer, but I know I am fortunate. Some illnesses cant be avoided but exercise has become my way to stay as fit and healthy as possible in mind and body. As part of my recuperation, I decided to take up running as a permanent hobby. I was determined to prove that I had beaten cancer and was fitter than ever, and it was an outlet for the other challenges I faced in my recovery; nobody can deny the mental impact of a serious illness.
