Earlier this year, I was diagnosed with a brain tumour, and from then on, it has been a crazy journey. I had brain surgery to remove the tumour and was so excited to return to work.

Recently, however, I was given unexpected news that my biopsy results showed that the tumour is more aggressive than we had hoped. Over the next few weeks, I will be undergoing treatment to allow me to keep fighting. Unfortunately, this means that I will not be returning to work for the foreseeable future to focus on my health and recovery. Stepping away from work is so hard, as it brings me so much joy.

I’ve been so grateful for the kindness, love and support from my wonderful family, friends and everyone in the amazing Mulberry family. I could not have done any of this without you. Every message, kind word and encouragement has helped me to stay positive at each step.

Your generosity will help ease the financial pressure during treatment and recovery, allowing me to focus on staying strong and positive.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love, encouragement and support during this difficult time.
