We all know life is finite.

But nothing prepares you for being told exactly how little time you might have.

I’m Kimberley, 35, a mum to my amazing three-year-old twin boys, Max & Freddie, who I’m unlikely to see grow up.

In January 2026, my life changed in one afternoon. 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 weeks to live.

Days later, I underwent a craniotomy. Most of the tumour was removed - but it was confirmed as a grade 4 glioma, which will grow back.

Since then, further scans have shown that the cancer has spread to my spine, where three additional tumours have been found. I have now started a five-day course of radiotherapy and am taking each day as it comes.

The love, kindness and support shown by family, friends, and complete strangers throughout this journey have meant more than I can ever put into words. This page has been created for those who have asked how they can help and who would like to support my family as we navigate the difficult road ahead and prepare for what comes next.

Every message, share, and contribution is deeply appreciated and will help provide comfort, stability, and precious support for Max, Freddie, my incredible husband Ross, and my loved ones during this incredibly challenging time.

Thank you for being part of our story.

With love,

Kim
