As many of you know, after seemingly getting the all clear for my aggressive Inflammatory Triple Negative Breast Cancer, just three weeks later I got the news it had metastasised to my brain. I had 15 tumors in my first MRI.

It's a terminal diagnosis which means I just have a few months to live.

It has been a huge shock for us all, but I remain grateful that I have lived a happy, full, joyous life. A life full of wonderful family, friends, colleagues, people and experiences.

St Catherine's https://www.stch.org.uk/ is our FANTASTIC local hospice who are already taking care of me palliatively and will look after me when it's my time to go. I cannot tell you how fabulous they are but they are SO underfunded. They get just over 20% funding from the government. Everything else has to be fundraised or donated. It's purpose built and gorgeous and they have 24 beds, but can only use 12 because of funding. It's a travesty.

The outpouring of kindness and generosity from all of my network has been overwhelming. Thank you!! I don't need gifts or flowers - I have everything I need and more. So please if you feel you'd like to help, the thing that would make me most happy is to know that St Catherine's are getting your support and will get your support (instead of flowers etc) when I'm gone.

I'm also running 2 separate raffles in aid of St Catherine's with great prizes for holidays to Padstow (with vouchers for Rick Stein and all sorts of goodies) and runner up prizes which are pretty lovely too! They'll be going live from Mid July to September time too - would love your support and you may win a holiday!! Will be in touch about those anon.

Loads of love
