There isnāt much to say except that Iām incredibly grateful to have turned 38. None of us knows how much time weāre allotted on this earth, and we are only a tiny speck in the long history of time and space, so Iām just really happy to be here right now.
I had a lovely day with my love, Stef, binge-watching Twilight, eating my favourite foods, and ending the night at a wonderful jazz club.
So, in the immortal words of Jacob Black, all I have left to say is, āBella! Where the hell have you been, loca?ā
When I was first diagnosed with incurable brain cancer, I thought Iād never be able to work out ever again. Gone were my days of getting stronger, fitter, and pushing my body to its limits - or so I thought.
But even through the long months of treatment, I couldnāt let go of that part of myself. I started small, training at home with 4kg dumbbells, often just managing a few slow, shaky reps. Some days it was all I could do to get moving at all. Still, I kept showing up, refusing to let my diagnosis define what I could or couldnāt do.
Over time, those tiny efforts began to add up. My strength crept back, my confidence grew, and eventually, I took the leap into CrossFit. It was humbling at first, but each session felt like reclaiming a piece of myself. Little by little, I rebuilt not just my body, but my sense of purpose and belief in what I was capable of.
Now, Iām taking on the Battle Cancer challenge, pushing my limits once again to raise money for tge charity Brain Tumour Research!
90 minutes of high energy movements - deadlifts, burpees, skiing, rowing, cycling and more! This time, every rep means something bigger ā for everyone still fighting, and for the hope that one day weāll find a cure. šŖšļø
Just some snaps from our weekend away exploring Ireland! š®šŖ Dublin, Dunlace Castle, Cliffs of Moher, Giant's Causeway, the Burren, the Dark Hedges, and of course, WWE Smackdown š
feeling so rested and rejuvenated after a week in Crete with some people I love šš last year we had 2 holidays cancelled (one because it clashed with my brain surgery, the other because brexit effed my passport) so it felt extra special to be able to get away, enjoy some relaxation and spend some time in a country that believes in air conditioning ā„ļø
And so, I close the chapter on a year of cancer treatment. š„³š§
Two brain surgeries, six weeks of daily radiotherapy, and eight months of chemotherapy later; I can finally say Iām finished (for now).
Thank you to all my family and friends, and to youāmy online communityāfor your constant support and for cheering me on every step of the way. I honestly couldnāt have done it without you.
Huge thanks to the NHS for keeping me alive, to Professor Nandi for removing most of the brain tumour, and to Dr. Butterfingers for dropping a piece of my skull on the operating room floor. I'll never forget you.
And, of course, to Stefāfor being my partner through all of this, and for carrying me through when I couldnāt make it on my own. I love you very much.
If youāre just starting your own long road, i want you to know this: itās not easy, and it wonāt always feel like progress. But little by little, you move forward. Then one day, you look around and notice youāre somewhere completely different from where you began.
You donāt have to be brave all the time. Just keep showing up.
