Kimberley Baggley, 27, started suffering from a migraine in June 2023 and was sent home from work. She then started to experience "pins and needles" in the left side of her face so went to her doctors but they told her she needed to rest.
A week into the migraine, Kimberley's husband, Luke Baggley, 28, took their son George, aged six, to swimming - when they came home Kimberley was in bed unconscious after having a seizure.

She had a craniotomy which removed 95% of the tumor and was told she had a grade 3 astrocytoma - a rare, aggressive, and malignant brain tumor.
Kimberley underwent 33 sessions of radiotherapy and is currently having chemotherapy.
