Now she's fighting to see 'more tomorrows' with kids
Kerry Taylor is battling breast cancer
KIRSTY Brunt was 25 weeks pregnant when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
After undergoing chemotherapy whilst carrying her baby - and having surgery and treatment following the birth - Kirsty was given the terrifying news that she had stage 4 cancer.
The 42-year-old mum is now three years into her cancer journey, and she is continuing to fight to see "more tomorrows" with her three children.
After finding a new lump in her neck a few weeks ago, her family, friends and community have rallied together to raise thousands for her treatment.
On a fundraiser page for Kirsty - which has already raised more than £30,000 - the Great Harwood mum is described as having "incredible strength" and a "sense of humour and personality that lights up every room".
